Default Trying to get a better shine...anyone?

Here are some pics of my car that I took at the Lone Star Corvette Classic on Saturday. I topped everything off with Adam's Polishes Sealant and Brilliant Glaze. Just wish there was more shine!

Jeremy, I don't know how it could look any better!


I used 22PLE on my C7. It's got great depth and shine. I see nothing wrong with yours. I'm not sure it could be any better!

Oh, btw, I entered her in the judged show and scored 97 out of 100. Good enough for a class award (two given in each class).

Here's the judges sheet. Looks like I need to work on the undercarriage.

Actually, he is a very nice man with whom I had an enjoyable conversation. But I get ya! Honestly, had I had another 30 minutes, I would have scored 100. Ugh!

Great looking ride!!! B. Wilson shouldn't be judging anything since he can't add. The score is actually a 96. Not that I agree with it.

Removed the 3 points worth of uncleanliness!

Thanks! I prefer to think that he meant to write down 14 on the undercarriage. No way I had two points deduction on that!

Maybe the judge gave himself one point for spelling his name right.
