Love making it shine

What did I do today...last week we went for a ride in our Corvette. Got a few bugs splattered on our nose. Today I decided to clean off the bug kill. Three hours later, the entire car got another ceramic treatment and sealed. Love how it shines up to a mirror finish. Just look at those reflections. Now she's all covered up and in the garage awaiting the next drive.

Wow. That is great. Did you have it professionally polished first and are now maintaining?

She gets a professional detail yearly. I just keep her cleaned and polished. It's just what we do.

You have the car looking great. Should turn some heads the next time you pull it out of the garage.

Love the color, and you are right, it shines up beautifully!

Just think next weekend, a three days to go cruising.

Beautiful! Just curious, is anyone using Dupont #7 car polish these days? Used to be one of the best ways to get your car shining.....

Gotta love that beautiful shine after all those years and how good it still looks. Nice job keeping her shining like new! I just did a polish and wax on mine and I can't stop staring at it. I couldn't help it but I had to post this pic.
