A brand new Chevy Z51 Stingray in Mesa, Arizona was dropped off with us to receive paint polishing and CQuartz Finest paint coating treatment. (Also known as our New Car Prep Package).*






Pretty clean for the most part, but a necessary prep wash was still performed. First up - tires/wheels/wheel barrels and wells.

Well maybe the wheels weren't so clean :)....









Gotta get behind the spokes.







Safely disolving*away the brake dust and road grime.








Ah yes, much better...they ARE black after all!







Wheel barrels and calipers were sealed to help make maintenance as easy as possible...





(Note the water beading on the calipers :) )



Next up, a foam bath to thoroughly clean the body of the car...make it thick!















After being hand washed and rinsed....Iron X was then used on the entire car to safely remove any iron particles (primarily from brake and rail dust) that may have bonded to the paint.







All the purple specks are iron particles being dissolved. Yes, even on a new car...







After chemically decontaminating the car, we then used a clay bar to remove what contaminates *were left and then pulled it into the garage to begin polishing...this is where we remove swirls, water spots or any other paint defects.



For the most part the paint was in good shape, but it did still have clusters of swirls/scratches that needed to be corrected.










And after polishing...crystal clear















Glossing up nicely







Gotta love that black/white contrast....beautiful.



Exhaust tips were polished....

After:



Finsihed











The Z51 was then cleaned with Eraser...an extremely important step to insure all polishing oils are removed so that the CQuartz Finest coating can properly bond to the paint....allowing it to protect for 2+ years!



CQuartz Finest gets applied to every inch..even the fun, low...difficult to reach areas...which you can tell by the smile on Danis face...she was enjoying that lol. Oh, and it also gets applied in 2 coats...so she got to do it twice :).











Crazy gloss, even i was impressed!





Finest was also applied to the super sweet Z51 wheel faces









Glass was coated with CQuartz Flyby30









Door jambs were cleaned...and while we weren't doing the interior, we had to snap a quick photo because it was so beautiful!









Protected by only the Finest in Arizona....work done by the only Finest Detailers/Installers in Arizona...how about that :)





Finally it was time to enjoy the finished product...







A beautiful finish to a beautiful car. The owner was very pleased and after purchasing some CarPro maintenance supplies from us *we are confident she will stay looking good for a very long time to come.



Thanks all for taking the time to look and enjoy.

Thank you for inviting us to post here Corey...Always great to share with other carpro nuts lol

Great work you to.

Thank you much!

Hey Chris...for foam gun we actually ordered the Autobrite: http://www.autobritedirect.co.uk/in...heavy-duty-foam-lance-various-connectors.html

For soap we use the Iron X Snow Foam corey sells from his site...its a great prep wash and worth the price for sure.

Pressure washer we use the AR Blue Clean 620. Electric, lots of power...no problems with it at all thus far...just be sure to get another gun/hose :)
 
thanks for the reply. Every foam gun I look at looks exactly the same in design... is there something I should look for?

honestly it seems a lot of them are the same...but i did notice a significant difference with the autobrite. Its a bit more expensive and you have to wait a couple weeks for it to ship from the UK...but it def puts out thicker foam...im assuming it has to do with the aerator and how it works.
 
Nothing put praises for you and your sister Wills! I always enjoy your write ups! Great documentation of great work!
 
Great work to both of you! The entire car turned out looking really nice.

Very Nice Work!

Amazing work as usual



Thank you all for your kind words and for taking the time to look and comment. I found out shortly after sending this write up to the owner that...HE SOLD IT! It was heart breaking to hear, but i guess he was moving and wouldnt really have time to use the car much where he was going so...sadly it has been sold :(. But, he said he will again get another one some day and whenever that happens he'll be sure to get back in touch with us....
