0 08G8V8 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Congrats! I have a similar Arctic White 2016 Z51 I got back in December. Very similar to yours, except I have the carbon flash mirrors/spoiler/badges. I LOVE it! You will too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 5OHHH Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 I wanted all the carbon flash! But this is the closest i could find to what I wanted! How's ur brake dust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 08G8V8 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 HORRIBLE! You will soon find out! A lot of guys with the Z51 change out their pads to Carbotech 1521 pads, that cut down on the dust a ton. I don't think I will though..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 5OHHH Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Thanks everyone! 08g8v8, ya I heard that, I think I'm going to take the wheels of and seal them very well with paint sealant, inside and outside! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 PacificNWBuckeye Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) That's gorgeous! I slightly hate you.... , but seriously I've read great things on this model Vette and the white is my favorite.

0 Rich Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Gotta love our white Vettes! Patriot, Guard and Gloss, BG, and an occasional wipe off with Detail Spray and she'll be looking her best all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm putting an order in tonight, any other tips for "first" detail on a new vehicle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 08G8V8 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Clay the car. Even though it is a "new" car, it will need to be clayed. Rich 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ricky Bobby Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 ^came in to post clay. Maybe even a gallon of the wheel cleaner and use it as a paint decontamination. Works great on white because you can see it attacking the fallout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 5OHHH Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 Thanks guys, I think I'm going to do the following Strip wash (try out my new foam gun too!!!) Dry Take the wheels off and clean/seal Clay the car Seal all the seals and plastic with vrt Check for scratches, use finishing polish if there is some Then wax Seal with paint sealant And possibly order some glaze tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Thorsager Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Congratulations and great color choice! I think white is the best color on a Corvette. I would seal the paint first then wax as needed. Don't forget to seal the windshield as well. Rich 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Ricky Bobby Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 If I had to pick the only thing besides window tint I would do on that - would be to color match those rear reflectors and front amber corners - would make the front and rear bumpers so much cleaner - its not for everyone but I've been doing it on my cars that have them for years and it cleans them up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 5OHHH Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) I agree, I have tint scheduled. And I ordered 20% precut tint for for the side markers. I also ordered Carbon flash emblems and Carbon flash stinger hood stripe. Also blackout grille too. Edited April 25, 2016 by 5OHHH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
