Z06 Z07 Corvette 100 Hour Detail

[Bruce Jibboo]

thought you were detail oriented?

think again.

Think you’re obsessive with your car? The professional detailers at Esoteric Auto Detail lived up to their name, and worked on this C7 Corvette Z06 for 100 hours straight.

That’s basically four straight days of work—all distilled into this two minute, 45-second time-lapse video, or about 0.05% of the time they actually spent.

100 hours leaves this gleaming Torch Red beauty looking better than factory new. Esoteric polished the paint, applied custom Suntek paint protection, added Gyeon quartz coatings, and then installed HRE PF101 series wheels and an Akrapovic exhaust.

For a full list of what they did, click here to their website. “The absolute best-looking Corvette in existence,” says Esoteric, and we’d agree. Maybe next time you have nearly a week’s time to work on your Corvette Z06, you’ll pick up a few tips.

Noice....something about the Metal Color rims Im not feeling...

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

ya not sure about the wheels and that exhaust i believe is a waste of $$ for the couple lbs you save.

 

[Spivitz]

This is a bit excessive

 

[Eagle]

At least it sounds good... God I miss the Vette!!!

 

[smug]

That's my kind of detail.

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

you'd drive it around the block and undo half your work.

100 hour detail, so you can take it to the Rolling Meadows cruise nights every Friday? Seems worth it

When do the ghey chrome Corvette accessories go on? At hour 101?

 

[syP]

retarded. sorry.

Yup. Wash it once and you just introduced swirl marks. I'm all for polishing a car, but for fuck sake. It took me 8 hours to do mine because it was my first time ever doing it, that was long as fuck.

 

[Grabber]

100 hours is crazy. I've done near 40 hour details on cars that required severe treatment and TLC.

This was a new car that didn't need that much work. Talk about OCD.

 

[Greg@STG]

Theres some company thats famous for this.
I saw them do it on a Ferrari and charged like $15,000.

I dont see the point. 4-5hrs once your paint is fixed is plenty.

 

[blakbearddelite]

I could see doing that on an old car that needs paint correction, but on a brand new car? Dumb. Even if I had that kind of money, I wouldn't be that stupid with it.

 

[SMRTSS1]

Maybe if somehow what they did gave the car an invisible "it'll never get dirty again" force field around the car where even rain wouldn't touch it I could understand it but that's a little excessive. I mean I've taken wheels and other random parts off cars to detail them and I've even taken seats out but that was to make things easier to do the work.

Paint corrections is one thing, but fuck, its a brand new car.

What were the hours it took for [MENTION=1983]Outlaw[/MENTION]'s paint correction on the Burban?

 

[Anonymous]

Should have driven 99 hours, and washed it for one after the trip. This it's stupid.

About 35-40 hours. It was good for what it was, but, nowhere near the same attention to detail that was put in to this car.

I saw them putting some kind of film on, but ya 100 hours is a joke but your 8 hours each wash/detail is a joke too, Xpel or 3M it unless you have the 100's of hours over the season to keep it nice looking.

There are different levels of detailing. You don't have to correct the paint frequently, but when you do, it's going to take some time to wash, polish and then wax/seal.
