Auto Obsessed performed a 10 hour detail on this very unique 2010 Corvette Grand Sport. A complete wash, decontamination, and wax was in order in addition to an extensive interior, engine bay, wheels, and exhaust tip detail.

A quick look at the vehicle upon arrival:

Insects on the front bumper:

Wheels required some serious attention:

With the engine and exhaust tips out of the way it was time to foam and wash the vehicle using Chemical Guys Citrus Wash n Gloss:

With the vehicle washed, it was placed on a lift where the wheels were taken off to be detailed:

The barrels of the wheels were heavily contaminated with tar; TarX was utilized:

Finally, Swissvax Scuderia was applied to the paint; although Scuderia is made specific to Ferarri we found it greatly enhanced this Grand Sport's red paint.
