Orange you glad to see me

Detailed my first atomic orange Vette. This was not a color I liked much when I first saw it but after detailing it I have to admit the color really jumps out at you when you polish her up.

I watched and waited for the first Atomic Orange Z06 to hit California with the dealer keeping me in the loop. The night I waked in to "check it out" I fell in love and had to leave with it. I got lots of looks with my silver C5 coupe but never have I had so many people from all walks of life and age groups just "have to tell me what a beautiful car"

PS I agree with all of them

Love mine as well. Thrilled with going out on a limb and getting the AO.

Carboman, what products did you use to detail your AO?

Nice job!

I hear I have a new neighbor with an AO coupe here in Nipomo, is he a member of the forum yet?

Nice job! It took a while, but the AO really grew on me. I especially like it with Cashmere interior.

The car is not mine. Detailed it for someone else who doesn't have a garage and in 18 degree weather there is no way to do it outside.

Used Adams butter wax as a base coat per the car owners request and followed that with Zaino Z6 and Z8 and then did the same sequence all over again.
