DIY Ceramic Coating a 2022 Hypersonic Gray C8 Corvette! 

Hello! So I've found a c7 zo6 at a dealer and the sticker price is $60,000. If I pay cash for the car, how much should I talk the dealer down too out the door? Thanks for any suggestions!

Heck yeah, I’m happy you enjoyed it. You’re welcome. 😊👍

It is a grind, but worth it over the long run.

Thank you Bill. 👍😊

Thanks Peter, I’m happy you enjoyed it! Yep, this is true. If you don’t want the paint ruined, don’t let the dealership touch it. Lol, jeans, I was thinking of getting my teeth ceramic coated, this way, brushing takes a fraction of the time. 😃 I guess I had forgotten that the wipers on a C6 are mentally challenged 😂 GM decided to smarten them up for the C8 I guess. Yup, the windshield is amazing after it’s coated. It’s like having RainX on steroids. I’ll let him know you liked his shirt. Please keep the short comments coming. 😊👍

Ha, Ha. Let me take some Poetic License if you will and say: "You're a Funny Guy!" 🤣 "The wipers on a C6 are mentally challenged." Are you trying to tell me something? Okay, I get it. But, now I know how to solve at least one of my mental challenges. Boy, it's so simple too. All I have to do is buy a C8! Now why didn't I think about that!? (No comments please.😉) Wait 'til I tell the woman I live with that, THANKS TO YOU, I'm now able to solve one of mental challenges, disabilities or whatever she calls these "things" that I supposedly have, with one easy purchase. It'll only take me maybe 3 to 5 years and a mere $80k to $100k to do it! She'll be tickled pink. Oh wait, I see she's going to the phone. You can expect a phone call from her any minute. Hey, I might be dumb, but I'm not stupid. Why do you think I dropped your name when she asked where I come up with THAT IDEA!? Have fun dealing with her! We'll both end up as roommates in a Mental Institution. If we're lucky! Save the Waves while you can. Your wrists may be broken within a week's time. She's now on the phone making plane reservations. Obviously, you didn't pick up the phone. There goes my peaceful day. THANKS TO YOU!

😂🤣😂 Me a funny guy…not near as funny as you! Lol, I’m ready for her. I have a psychiatrist ready to explain to your wife, how the C6 wipers threw me into a mental state. 🤪 And the C8 was the only thing that brought me out of it. 🤣 This should do 2 things. 1: Calm her down and 2: move you closer to getting your C8! When she gets home, I guarantee, she will let you out of the dog house. 😃

Now hold the phone, wait just a cotton-pick'n minute, stop the music! Listen Mr. Smarty Pants, Sage of Dallas, Seer of All Things great and small. Listen to this! So, you think I'm going to be "let out of the doghouse!?" I just got off the phone with some guy from ABC Construction Co., yeah, that sounds legit, doesn't it? He said he's calling "to arrange a time to come and do some mods." So, I asked him what mods? He tells me, to enlarge and insulate a Doghouse." Well, we ain't getting no Great Dane, so why is this being done. PLUS, the doorbell just rang a little while ago. I answer and it's a delivery from Chewy.com with a 100lb box of XXL Milk Bones! WHAT!? I'm the only one here that loves milk! My shepherds won't drink milk! When the woman is motivated, she's faster than a speeding bullet and more powerful than locomotive and can even leap tall buildings in a single bound. I call her my Wonder Woman, because I always "wonder" what the devil she's going to do next!? Would you have room in your backyard for a Doghouse? I'm very well trained. All I need is some milk but with some Chocolate Chip cookies would be nice. I'm also pretty good at standing guard 24/7 too. I'm also not a party animal, so your neighbors will never have to call the cops on you, and I won't have any strange girls over. But I kind'a have a hanker'n for girls in cowboy boots and hats. Eeee ahhh! Oh yeah, one last thing. By the time she's done with having just a few words with you, you and I may end up as roommates in a Mental Institution somewhere. Oh the humanity!🤦‍♂

Thank you, I’m happy you enjoyed it, and thank you for your complement, I enjoy getting awesome cinematic shots. You should definitely give it a shot, it’s not hard, just time consuming. 😊👍

@@BrinkofSpeed hey I just wondered you seem to have a finger on the pulse of the Corvette world have you heard anything about 1000 hp coming next after the z06? I’ve heard a couple rumors at dealers here in Michigan about it

Thank you, I agree. 😊👍

Nice. 👍😊

The paint correction really makes this color pop.

It sure is, and will get even better 😊👍

You wouldn’t need to use the polishes, you can clay bar the ppf and then apply ceramic over that.

Clay bar and then ceramic on the glass is all that is needed on a newer vehicle. If you have an older car the polishes work awesome on glass and will make it appear new, I’ve done this in the past.

Made by chemical guys, you can order from them or Amazon.

Little extra buffing, you can also use a heavier polish compound, chemical guys has one called V32 for these situations you can buy a 4oz. Bottle. The V32 also works on swirl marks if your car is older.

We did the wheels on the car separately, we have the footage filmed and likely will put out a video on that very soon. You are correct coating the wheels and glass makes cleaning and maintenance a breeze. You will also see in a recent video we installed Carbotech brake pads which cuts down on the dust dramatically. Thanks for Watching

The product is rated to Last 5 years, factors that will play into that is how often you drive it and wash. They do make glazes your can apply over the ceramic coating. I use the detail spray products that are made for ceramic coated vehicles and find that works great as maintenance and keeping the brilliant shine.

@@nrdemon1031 thank you, Emi

Yes, coating products can go over xpel and vinyl wraps.

Stay tuned, I have some 21/20 Vossen wheels to put on along with lowering springs.

Thank you, I’m happy you enjoyed it. He addressed them with the buffer and was able to fix most of them. You’re welcome. 😊👍

Paint Protection Film, often referred to as xpel or clear bra.

Yes glass and plastic, in another video you will see the wheels and brake calipers done.

@@nrdemon1031 when will you release the video of the wheels & brake calipers getting ceramic coated?

@@robertmcdonald1555 soon, the process for the wheels is simple just clean them and use the wipe out surface cleaner to get the really clean and then apply the same ceramic coating.

What’s The formula for the alcohol water solution to prep the paint prior to coating

I hear ya. It’s not too hard just time consuming. 😊👍

Thank you. I totally understand, but if you do ceramic you won’t ever need to use wax again. You can still detail your car with ceramic boost spray and act like you’re waxing your car. It’s a million times better than the best wax products out there. 😊👍

If you try the ceramic coating 💯 you will change your mind. If your are comfortable with waxing this will be a breeze, give it a try on your daily driver.

@@BrinkofSpeed Jacob looks like WW!! Great video btw!

Two questions on the PPD: 1) Do you cover the entire car? And 2) How much to do the entire car? I'm picking up my Hypersonic Gray Z51 next week as soon as it gets unloaded off the Matson ship here in Honolulu. BTW, I would appreciate any recommendations for a PPF installer and or particularly good detailer in Honolulu. Mahalo.
