SYMAWD Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) I bought this car new right off of the showroom floor. Luckily, there were almost no swirls at all on it, just some marring and very light straight line scratches from people touching it all day.Here are two before pictures, but the car was already pretty good to begin with: Since I will be bringing this car to college, there will be no place to really wash it, so I applied a coating for protection.First I removed all of the stickers that I had the dealer leave on, removed all brackets and license plates, then rinsed it down for a wash. Next up was some foam with an iron removing car shampoo and then a 2 bucket wash with a microfiber wash mitt, 2oz of Adam's car shampoo, and 4 oz of APC. Adam's Car Wash ShampooAdam's Grit Guard Car Wash BucketAdam's All Purpose CleanerAt this point I would have done the wheels and tires, but they were already clean from the dealer prep.The car was then sprayed with an iron decontamination product similar to DWC. There was only a noticeable color change on the hood, lower front bumper, and the rear license plate holder. Adam's Deep Wheel CleanerI then rinsed and pat the car dry with Adam's Great White and Double Soft towels. Next I pulled it into the garage where I planned on claying it, but this car was smooth. Perhaps the dealer did it when they prepped it for the showroom. I know they do where I work, so it's possible they did here too.Adam's Great White Microfiber Drying TowelAdam's Double Soft Microfiber TowelI then attacked the light marring and scratches by hand with Adam's orange hex grip polishing pad and a compound and polish.I then sprayed the car down with a 15% IPA solution to prep it for the coating. I ended up using 15 mL for 2 coats. The glass was cleaned using Adam's glass cleaner and microfiber glass towels. It was then sealed with Adam's Quick Sealant.

Still reflects well for how dark it was outside: Interior got Adam's Total Interior Detailer: Edited July 22, 2014 by SYMAWD BKazzle and Michael@Adams 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Very nice ride and great job on the detail. That color is killer. Corvette is bringing out a new orange for 2015 called Daytona Sunrise Orange and I'm betting it's going to be real close to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
