  • Mesa,Az Detail - Z51 Stingray - Polished and CQuartz Finest

    While not my usual lengthy write up with a huge turn around....this was too sweet of a car not to do a post on...i hope you all still enjoy it.



    A brand new Chevy Z51 Stingray in Mesa, Arizona was dropped off with us to receive paint polishing and CQuartz Finest paint coating treatment. (Also known as our New Car Prep Package).









    Pretty clean for the most part, but a necessary prep wash was still performed. First up - tires/wheels/wheel barrels and wells.

















    Well maybe the wheels weren't so clean ....














    Gotta get behind the spokes.











    Safely disolving away the brake dust and road grime.












    Ah yes, much better...they ARE black after all!











    Wheel barrels and calipers were sealed to help make maintenance as easy as possible...








    (Note the water beading on the calipers )





    Next up, a foam bath to thoroughly clean the body of the car...make it thick!





















    After being hand washed and rinsed....Iron X was then used on the entire car to safely remove any iron particles (primarily from brake and rail dust) that may have bonded to the paint.











    All the purple specks are iron particles being dissolved. Yes, even on a new car...











    After chemically decontaminating the car, we then used a clay bar to remove what contaminates were left and then pulled it into the garage to begin polishing...this is where we remove swirls, water spots or any other paint defects.





    For the most part the paint was in good shape, but it did still have clusters of swirls/scratches that needed to be corrected.















    And after polishing...crystal clear























    Glossing up nicely











    Gotta love that black/white contrast....beautiful.





    Exhaust tips were polished....





    Before:








    After:




    Finsihed
















    The Z51 was then cleaned with Eraser...an extremely important step to insure all polishing oils are removed so that the CQuartz Finest coating can properly bond to the paint....allowing it to protect for 2+ years!





    CQuartz Finest gets applied to every inch..even the fun, low...difficult to reach areas...which you can tell by the smile on Danis face...she was enjoying that lol. Oh, and it also gets applied in 2 coats...so she got to do it twice .
















    Crazy gloss, even i was impressed!








    Finest was also applied to the super sweet Z51 wheel faces














    Glass was coated with CQuartz Flyby30














    Door jambs were cleaned...and while we weren't doing the interior, we had to snap a quick photo because it was so beautiful!














    Protected by only the Finest in Arizona....work done by the only Finest Detailers/Installers in Arizona...how about that








    Finally it was time to enjoy the finished product...











    A beautiful finish to a beautiful car. The owner was very pleased and after purchasing some CarPro maintenance supplies from us we are confident she will stay looking good for a very long time to come.





    Thanks all for taking the time to look and enjoy.

We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

          Off and on! Last month sucked honestly, but the rest of the year was good...hopefully it was just an off month . I've done a few write ups on here..i think the last one was of a CTS-V...if you havent seen it try to look it up...that one is def worth reading

                I love a clean, polished and coated white car...but then again maybe thats because my 86' town car is white..so im probably a bit bias :-D

                    Great job. I enjoy reading your threads after your Tesla thread. You can probably even make following an average car interesting
