I chose today to be my Saturday because I work Saturdays almost every weekend. Pure n00b at paint care/correction but gainz are being made.
Wash, clay bar, and first cut so far. Here's the original paint

One of the great things about detail work on a Corvette is that there isn't that much paint to detail! You have the cloth top and I have an all glass/plexi setup so all you got is two bumpers, four fenders, two doors and a bit of hatch/trunk.

This is true, however I'm still going to end up spending the whole day on it.Desertbreh wrote:One of the great things about detail work on a Corvette is that there isn't that much paint to detail!

If you did the same thing to a Suburban it would take 3 days.Tarspin wrote: ↑Thu Jun 01, 2017 2:19 pmThis is true, however I'm still going to end up spending the whole day on it.Desertbreh wrote:One of the great things about detail work on a Corvette is that there isn't that much paint to detail!

I was planning to bring the Arr.[user not found] wrote:So, if you ever did Deals Fap...
Would you bring the Arr or the Tub?
This car can probably do the trip and be a lot of fun but I don't want it to get beat up or incur high mileage. If I it in a few years I hope to limit the depreciation. If I sold it now I'd lose out on the taxes and mods which is

I love driving the car and take it out almost daily in the summer, I just don't think cross country expeditions are the way to go. I'd rather take a fresh new car with a warranty and roadside assistance in that case.[user not found] wrote:Buys car to enjoy, doesn't enjoy car.
