Happy 2018 Forum, From New Member/Proud C7 Owner in OC
Greetings from OC, CA. Been lurking here while finally being able to realize a childhood dream (thanks to my awesome wife). I've wanted a vette since I was a little kid in the '60s and I'd ride my bike to the Chevy dealer to sit and admire (yup, prototypical mid-life crisis owner I guess).
This beauty is a `15 Z51 3LT in really nice (stock) shape. Been making a long list of upgrades I'd like to budget for as well as a-bunch-o-questions I need to dig into more here in the forum. In the mean time, if you can provide some quick pointers . . .
The paint is in great shape and appears to have a synthetic (ceramic?) finish applied. Looks wet(ish) and isn't really getting dirty. Can a Zaino-type product be applied without stripping, etc?
I'd like to get side skirts and I'm confident I could install 'em IF I had a means to jack up the car. Any recommendations for an installer in OC for that kind of kit?
Service is another thing. Don't need it yet but I'll need to hunt that down at some point.
Anyway, here's the pics and looking forward to meeting some of you fine folks at some gatherings in 2018.
Santa Monica pier? Oh, and sweet ride! Btw, I went with ACS Zero1 side skirts and am very happy, 'though I had a speed shop do the install since I don't have the equipment. And I can hear gravel and such pinging off the skirts so I know they're doing the job.

ElGreco, that's at Huntington Beach pier. And, for inquiring minds, the top shot is Back Bay in Newport Beach.
I didn't see anyone answer your question about "waxing" over a ceramic coating, and you certainly can without removing it, but it's recommended that you use a SiO2-based product.
Congrats on your new toy!!! Im in Brea and have a rack if you need to get it up in the air to install the side skirts or even change your oil when your ready. Several guys have come by and used it. My GS has the ceramic coating and ill show you how i take care of it. i
It's my way of giving back....

So, Foosh, would you recommend a ceramic coating be applied before Expel Ultimate? Wonder what a CeramicCoating procedure costs?
