Default Showing the black c6 some love

Purchased the car used from another member. And finally got around to claying it, and rubbing compound, polishing and waxing all by hand. Didnt have a wheel
Also cleaned up the engine bay

But some pics for ya~ from my phone

Looks very nice. Look like it’s lowered. Does it scrape the drive way at that height? How long did it take to clay bar the entire car? I need to do mine because I got some serious swirl marks.

While a machine is a valid choice to polish paint, there is certainly a notable difference in what you did by hand. Congrats !!!

The "murdered out" look is beautiful! Nice job. Black is a part-time job.

You have done well. I've got Michigan tag on my black C6 too. I'll be rocking all over the UP for the month of July. Can't wait.

I had one black C6 and put countless hours of effort trying to keep it looking that good. Never, ever again.
