    Hey Craig, been following the channel off and on for awhile now and it was refreshing to see automotive detailing be the focus on this video. I am appalled at how people trash their high valued cars these days. I'm a detail enthusiast and I don't even let me daily driver get even close to how bad that Corvette was. Thanks for promoting up and coming young detailers on this channel!

    Unfortunately there's been some issues with the flat plane crank engine in the z06....but you get the ferrari sound with "ahem" gm quality/reliability.....hehehe (I know I know I contradicted myself).
    The worst was the guy bought one, was driving home with the salesman IN the car, and blew the motor with 6 miles on it. And no, he didn't over rev it or anything, the computer prevents you from doing it until it's properly broken in. SuperspeedersRob had his replaced, it spun a bearing or something.

    I almost bought a mk7 Golf R that was owned by an older man on a dirt road. I wanted the car because it was not beat by the owner, the roads however chipped the paint and undercoating so bad the shop I had look at it told me not to buy it. It might be hard to catch it all on camera but I believe him that its in rougher shape than he expected.

  • @brucesahroian1482
    @brucesahroian1482 Год назад +1

    One thing Im not seeing in this detail process is the engine compartment!? C8's have a totally open engine compartment! So if you spray water on the rear bonnet, water goes all over the engine!
    I just love my 23 C8! Ive been a hot rodder for quite a while, I just wanted a car I can drive without working in it! (Im 78)
    The value in a C8 is that it is "Instantly" available for the buyer! NO WAITING!!! I waited 2 flipping years!

    In 2016 I purchased my mother a new Camaro two SS convertible and she wanted the color black .😭I once had a black truck, so I had to learn my lesson but that was what she wanted and it was a pain to clean just like I remembered.Well I order a 2024 Corvette C8 LT2 in White with Red interior with the Black web design wheels. I agree with the LT 2 being the best option package.And I added the front end lift . Beyond that I didn’t go crazy with performance options because I’m not a aggressive driver. I also wanted to keep the cost down so I can keep my resale price down.

  • @napdaily
    @napdaily Год назад +3

    Just an FYI... A splitter is in the front. A diffuser is in the back in the majority of instances, although diffusers can be used in many different locations. Diffusers are used to direct air usually using channels coming from under the car. Splitters are used to gain front end down force from air "pushing" down on the top of the splitter.

    I cannot get excited about the looks of the new Corvette styling. My neighbor bought one in the first quarter of this year in Rapid Blue with polished aluminum wheels with no brake caliber exposure, which was the best-looking one I have seen so far. That said, he only kept the car for six months and five hundred-plus miles before he sold it. He told me it was the most uncomfortable car he ever owned and that includes the Audi TT he once had for about three months. He wound up buying a Velvet Red 2023 Chrysler 300c 6.2 L Hemi which I would consider a far more reasonable daily driver. The sound of the Chrysler's exhaust reminds me of another neighbor's 2023 Charger King Daytona Last Call model which is more of a show-toy than a daily driver.

    Curious why the owner wouldn’t just take it to a detailer himself and have you sell it on consignment? Or just sell it himself?

      Last owner got money n didn’t care that much. He clearly told him he don’t use it much.

    If the car was washed with a hose, check the strut towers, they fill up with fluid and will corrode.
