New 2014 Stingray First and Last Detail
What a lovely color this is. Overall the car was in very nice shape, but unfortunately, there more RIDS than I'd like to see on a brand new car.
Because the owner chose Opti Coat Pro as protection, this finish will never need another detail. All one needs to do is follow a few easy steps maintaining the finish and the return is like getting a newly detailed look after each wash.
In any case, here is the car when I arrived at the dealership to do the work. The owner has not seen the car, it will be displayed on the showroom until final delivery next week.

Polishing process:
HD ADAPT to cut
Optimum PRIMER to finish and prep
OPTI COAT PRO
Tire shine was courtesy of the dealer
Finished

NEVER is a long time and I've had cars for ten years and know what it takes to keep them looking good with sun and rain and what ever….
"A few easy" beginning words always gets a smile from me, please explain a "few easy" vs. never having to detail ever again….
I wanna hear this one…..
