Couple weeks ago, I decided to get serious, and detail my car finally...

first time with my Flex 3401, and learned a LOT. Big thanks go out to Bobby and Josh for all the help answering questions...

I'll let the pictures do the talking

white is SUPER tough to photograph, but I did what I could...

here are some final pictures after we did a quick detail on my neighbors C5 corvette and my car

Looks great man. This is something I need to get around to doing soon.

dang man....letting it sit during a deployment is bad for the paint. You needed this detail.

Looks good man

is that corsa?

the car looks great.. white is hard to photograph.. low light, lots of reflections always looks best IMO.

very thorough man.. very thorough.

+1. Sunset in the shade always captures alpine the best.

Looks awesome Cal! Your car really is nuts.

When done right, z06 vettes can be the nicest sounding cars in the world.

Lookin good man! Glad that we were able to help... detailing is so rewarding, especially when you do it yourself and see the awesome results first hand. I still need to do my post paint detail, I've just been too busy with everyone elses cars...

Car looks phenomenal though, and so does that vette... :drool:
