Default Had my Z detailed by Garry Dean in Tampa

I've got a black 2004 C5 Z06 and I wasn't impressed with my paint lately in the sunlight. I had taken it to several local detailers and between that and time my paint had a ton of swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation. It didn't look good in the sun at all and it only has 23,000 miles on it.

After doing som research I decided to have Garry spend a day on it and make it right using a two-step restoration process. I also then had the car Opti-coated.

Once Garry was done I couldn't believe the difference. My car appeared almost a gunmetal grey before and now it looked black. Unfortunately, the clouds had run in towards the end so I didn't get a great look at it in the sun but even in the clouds it looks more like a mirror instead of sandpaper. Garry answered all my questions while I was there and very polite. Couldn't recommend a better detailer!

The only before/after I got

Looks great!! He did an awesome job. I just polished my black FRC over the week of Christmas/New Years to get rid of swirls also. It is a great feeling to see those reflections. Funny also, I just ordered some of his (Garry Dean's) infinite use detail juice about a week ago. Great stuff...super concentrated.

nice .... with Opti-coat you should be protected for a couple years too. Just use good washing and drying techniques.

Yep! I'm going to start trying the Garry Dean wash method since I live in an apartment complex and the use of a hose is scarce. Should work perfectly.

Thanks for the compliments.
