I got the opportunity to detail this 2002 Corvette - Millenium Yellow Coupe, 6 speed, A&A Supercharger kit, BBS wheels. The owner asked that I help him with a deep clean and a base of Zaino that he could then maintain.

I cleaned the wheels and tires with MiraClean all-purpose cleaner and a variety of brushes and mitts. I then moved to a two-bucket wash with Zaino Z7 and sheepskin mitt. Next I removed all contamination with Zaino Z18 claybar and DP 4-in-1 for lubrication. After everything was washed and decontaminated, I further cleaned and polished the paint with Zaino AIO and a polishing pad with the PC 7424. The car was then sealed with two coats of Zaino Z5 Pro and a final wipedown of Zaino Z8. The tires got Zaino Z16 dressing and the exhaust tips were freshened up with #0000 steel wool and Zaino ZPC followed by Mother's metal polish and a microfiber.

I wasn't paying attention the the shadow on the whole-car pictures, so they didn't turn out too well.

Thanks for looking, and as always, comments/questions are welcome.

You have no idea. He should have put up a before shot to see what he had to deal with. :shock: After the cleaning I was embarrassed when I realized how bad it was when I dropped it off.
