💦 Detailing C5 Corvette Z06 Paint Correction and More - Yellow

[Understated Detailing]

Over the past few days I had the pleasure of working on this C5Z. At right about 43k on the clock, the car needed some help to restore it back to its former beauty. The client wanted everything done; Paint Correction, Optimum Gloss Coat, Full Interior Detail, and an Engine Bay Detail. After about 25 hours of work here are the results.

Sick job Mario! The car looks awesome, great turnaround. One thing, can you tell the guy to not have hammer on weights put on the wheels? Fucking ruins it for me.

Just a Snap On Led hand light. It has a filter over it so it looks like a fluorescent.
