Totally Awesome FVS I've seen enough -- Ready for the reveal. Lets see the real deal GM. I know FVS keeps saying the real thing will look better, but how?
I didn't know we could request colors. Maybe a Black Cherry Metallic or Black Rose?Rocket City Florida- 2001 ZO6 - 2013 427 Vert - 2020 StingrayComment

I’ll take Red, but I can’t imgine this car in Black!Comment

I love a beautifully clean black Corvettes. Absolutely exquisite. But black does not work well for us with our long road trips, and as we all know, black is the “swirl” magnet unless the car is always perfectly washed (which while I can do that at home, detailing a dirty black car in a motel parking lot, thousands of miles from home, is not that environment).GBA Black; HTO Twilight/Tension interior; Z51 & Mag Ride; E60 lift; 5VM visible carbon fiber package; 5ZZ high wing; FA5 interior vis CF; ZZ3 engine appearance; 3LT; Q8T Spectra Gray Tridents; J6N Edge Red Calipers; SNG Edge Red Hashmarks; VQK Splash Guards; RCC Edge Red engine cover; VJR illuminated sill plates.

Looks awesome in the variety of colors shown...
white will be awesome and its among the easiest to keep clean.
that said torch red with a balck interior is a classic combo for corvettesComment

How about a Flip Flop Black Metalflake John, You wont see the swirl marks.

Any new waxes/ coatings that protect from swirls?
I don’t mind so much... especially since it it has AWD, I will be roading it in the snow anyway,,, just like the mules! I’ll park it when the snow is higher than the headlights!Comment

i know flake hides dirt and swirls better than gloss black but I prefer a real black.Originally posted by Frenzy36 View PostComment

Nano ceramic coatings are approx 8X harder than clear coat, so light years better than any wax for swirl protection. However, there are now waxes that can go over nano ceramics that give extra shine quality also.Originally posted by fvs View Post
We will create a complete new detailing section of the forum months before the ME’s arrive, maybe as soon as within the next month, and all can chime in on the many aspects of paint correction, protection, and beautification.
Professionally applied nano ceramics are the best, but perhaps nowhere near worth their costs of many, many hundreds to a couple of thousands of dollars cost, especially when there are now several “newbie friendly” nano ceramics, YouTube videos and so forth. I taught myself how to do the treatment, and have since done them extremely successfully on two brand new vehicles.
Here is professionally-applied-only CQuartz Finest on our car, and what you are looking at is about 18 months after it was applied, and after the car had gone about 10,000 miles and 12 states after its treatment.
Every car we own now and into the future will be nano ceramic coated.

That car looks great!
Very interesting stuff. Looking forward to the thread.
Has anyone ever tried the liquid nano shield material they use on cell phone screens.? I read they work well and are easy to apply on glass and other surfaces. I wilonder if any of these coatings are the same?Comment

I ve never looked into nano coatings. I look forward to reading the forums informational posts on the subject.
Im digging the wheels as well.
