Black C6 Vette Convertible

[Andybro99]

Spent a 4 day weekend detailing my brand new corvette in this order....

-Washed with Gold Class car wash
-Quick Detailer to remove any water marks/left-over soap (finish was new and claying seemed pretty unnecessary)
-Dental Floss to remove dinky GM emblems from the sides
-M7 Showcar Glaze with the PC (polishing pad)
-M21 Synthetic Sealant (2 light coats on finishing pad, removed with Goldclass Microbiber Bonnets on the cutting pad)
-NXT All Metal Polysh on the wheels, licence plate frame and exhaust tips

-and Endurance High Gloss Tire shine....but im waiting to get a good applicator so that can wait till next weekend

Overall, I was very pleased with these products and to commence, Raddy21 and I had a little photoshoot on this 70 degree December day in Maryland

Re: Black C6 Vette Convertible

Looks great, being a fellow black Corvette owner, I know what it takes to make them stand tall. That black looks dripping wet!

Is that an aftermarket shifter? I had the C6 ZO6 shifter installed in my C5, but that shift nob doesn't look like what comes out of the factory....could be the angle too.

My brother has a 2006 C6 coupe, I never really liked those GM badges either. Seemed like an inconspicuous way to advertise for GM, even if you have been under a rock and don't know that the Corvette is GM's flagship. At any rate, those little emblems definitely get in the way of waxing and polishing.

Again, great job.

Nice work!

Always like to see a vette get the proper care.

Re: Black C6 Vette Convertible

Nice work, and although NXT metal polish is safe for clearcoats, you would be much better served using #21 on the rims instead. It will last longer and increase the shine since your rims are painted (clearcoated).

Re: Black C6 Vette Convertible

thanks for the advice...is it ok to put M21 over the NXT metal polysh? I was surprised to see how well it worked even though it was applied directly to paint.

As for the shifter...that is the standard shifter for the '07 automatics. The car is completely stock for now. Anyone have any suggestions for a good aftermarket exhaust system?

I have Borla Stingers on my C5 and love them. The best thing to do is ride in another vette with an aftermarket exhaust. Don't just believe what everyone says is the best. Everyone has their own taste in how their car sounds. I was all set to get magnaflows until I rode in one. Then I drove a friends vette that had the stingers and knew that was the right one. Take your time and test drive different ones. Most vette owners are more than happy to help you out and show off what they have.

Good luck!

The big three (Corsa, Borla, and BB) are what you need to research. You can go to Mid-America's website and listen to all of them to make a better call. I went with the Corsa Pace Car with the pro series tips. Slightly louder than stock at idle, a whisper quiet cruise, but you put the "go pedal" down and it growls something fierce! I love it.

I don't mean to brag but I helped out a fair amount with the detailing process haha.

here are some more pics (I also threw a layer of #21 on my accord, but thats it as it was the corvette's day to 'shine').
