  • Touch up of a showcar

    This Corvette has won numerous trophies, to the name of almost 100. Well tomarrow it competes in the prestigous Ecklers Orlando Corvette Show and the owner wanted me to touch it up.

    I originally detailed the car for the National Ecklers Show, which can be viewed here.

    My brother and I arrived and gave the car a quick wipe down with Lasttouch Detail Spray. I then polished the car with #80/PC/8006 on speed 6, then hand polished with #7, followed by #26 via PC. This was topped by #16, which as become my favorite combination and took this Vette to a whole new wet level.

    My favorite combo...



    Even after polishing with #80 there was still faint swirling, but the improvement was 95 percent better...



    My brother inspecting the work



    Since my company is Tropical Detailing Excellence, the owner let my brother and I take is 150K Vette for a ride to try to find some tropical looking pictures that will become the face of my new web page (should be up in a week!)





    I will have to retouch this photo (darken it slightly) and it will probably become Tropical Detailing's background

          Any way you can upload a bigger one of the 5th one so that I can have that beautiful car as my background?

                    Thanks for the compliments. I will see about getting the 5th picture blow up after I correct it in photobucket. Its going to be a picture on the main page of my website, tropicaldetailing.com, when I finally get it running.
