New car, what do you recommend?

[Sliver Raptor]

Heard a ton of good things about you guys and your products. Let me start off by saying my raptor is one dirty girl and rarely sees a bath since it sits outside all its life and I am okay with that.

Well I just got a C6 Z06 vet and really want to do everything possible to keep it looking beautiful inside and out. In the process of cleaning out my garage so the vet will have a nice place to sleep. What products of yours would you recommend for a victory red Vet?

Thanks

Anderson

First thing I would do is prep the paint by a good Adams clay bar, machine polish, and Americana wax. Then I would have the front clip covered with Xpel ultimate wrap to protect from all or the road chips.

Have fun with your new toy.

Thanks bud, not really a huge detailing guy so when it comes to the "art" of it I would like to see what you guys do/ use.

Thanks a lot of the input I will be looking at everything you mentioned.


And Busa… come on bro, you are better than that.

Hey Anderson, thanks for the question and congrats on the new ride!!

At a bare minimum, you will need to clay bar and protect it with either a sealant/glaze/wax, or a combo of those.

From there, you have a lot of options:

• Are there swirls/scratches/defects in the paint that you want to be gone? Then it's time to polish.
  
• Does the interior need some love? Then it's time to clean/condition.
  
• Have the wheels been neglected? Then it's time for some cleaning/sealing.

Getting set up with a proper 2-bucket wash system is the key to maintaining the paint on your Z, or any vehicle for that matter. 95% of swirls and scratches are caused by improper washing technique, so that it THE most important process if you want to keep the paint looking nice.

Take a stroll through our videos that outline all of the process in more detail when you have some time.

Once you get a chance to do that, let me know your thoughts and I'd be more than happy to get you dialed in with some goods that suit your needs/wants.
