Yeah Steve beer is all that's required to get me going. I'll have to wait until my back straightens up before I come down and start yours.

I had the exact same urge Randy, but I sprung for having two expert detailers come to my heated garage in the winter and for $450 they spent 6 hours polishing the paint to get rid of 20 years of swirl marks-- they called it "paint correction" I now use a sealer/polish product (called "Car Topper") as a sealer -- their recommendation. Really makes it shine. The paint gets favorable comments at every show. And my back doesn't hurt. But my wallet does.--Bob

Yeah Mr. Bob, I marveled over your car at the gathering, took pictures also, I have a buddy that had a ZR-1 several years ago and is looking for another. I showed him yours and he's loving it. Maybe he will get his finances straighten out and give your a call. I've never heard of the sealer/polish product you are using but I can say it does a Excellent job.

Yeah Frank-- I was impressed. They worked hard and made it look good. They are approved installers for CQuartz Finest which gets pretty high marks as a paint treatment and sealer. And I sold BMWs and MINIs (and similar paint treatments) for half a dozen years so I am somewhat skeptical of them as dealer profit enhancers. But the CQuarts seems to be pretty good. Only done by professional detailers who are qualified to do so. Like the guys who did my paint correction. --Bob

Hi Randy--
The sealer I used was C.A.R. Products Bulletproof Series Topper. Easy to apply with spray bottle and wipes off easily as well. A bit pricy at $24 per 16 oz bottle but maybe it is available cheaper elsewhere. I bought from their website. You don't use much each time though. And if your buddy wants my car it is still available. --Bob
