2nd Place @ Super Chevy
 
Hey guys. We had the Super Chevy Show down here in Florida yesterday. After all the sanding and buffing/detailing I figured I would try out my luck at the show. I did add one more thing to the paint to really make it pop. CQuartz UK edition nano ceramic paint coating. These coatings are the new age of paint protection and ultimate shine! I won a free kit on Autopia.com so I figured I would try it out and WOW!! Then me being me I topped it with Pinnacles new Synergy nano ceramic hybrid wax.

Anyway its tough to find real judged shows here for the newer cars and although it was 45$ to enter I felt it was well worth it just for the fact you don't have your best friends mothers daughter voting for you car. LOL. My GTO was in the open class Street division. They had stock, street, modified. The open class was had caddys, colbalts, some buicks, pontiacs, etc. I had 4-5 cars in my class. I ended up taking 2nd which I was really happy with. 1st was a 2012 700hp 2dr CTS-V that was super nice. I did talk with the judge and he said that they really base it on cleanliness not just crazy modifications. That was nice to hear since I felt my GTO was really clean for 98k mile car. Anyway on to the pics

Thanks buddy.

It's amazing the technology that there coming out with now in the world of paint protection and detailing. The chemistry is amazing. But like anything else its all in the prep and time/products used.

Hell the New Pinnacle Black Label Synergy hybrid wax I bought was 200$ for a little 5oz can. I topped the CQuartz UK with it and it just makes it that much better!!
