Never EVER ceramic coat your Corvette again! Do THIS instead! 

The alcohol pre application sort has me worried. Remember “new” paint must be carefully handled! Love the car Dude

@@stephenr115 this is what the professionals use, it’s not strong enough to cause any damage.

Thanks, the are ForgedLite wheels from Wheel Designers.

Thanks, that was the plan clean and simple and not overdue it, still have some other mods coming. Exhaust from AWE and R1 Concepts drilled and slotted rotors along with CarboTech Brake pads.

@@nrdemon1031 You executed your plan perfectly. Are the additional mods going to be featured on Mike's channel as well?

@@glennmiller9688 Yes more content coming, Brake upgrades with slotted and drilled rotors and high performance brake pads, new exhaust system that I’m adding my own custom touch it will be a one of a kind :). Possibly another 1-2 ACS Composite add ons. Stay Tuned….

@@nrdemon1031 Looking forward to it. Have a C8 on order myself.

Thanks 🙏

Thanks Jose. 😊👍

Thanks Lu, it was a fun video to make.

Come to Carlisle this summer, we will be there.

👍😊 You’re welcome

Thanks Doug, appreciate it!

I have this car with the high wing. In my opinion the high wing adds a lot of class and race appearance. I don’t like his low wing at all, but that’s why there is strawberry and orange.

Thanks Earl!

Thanks 😊

🙏 Thanks, stay tuned we still have some other mods coming.

I totally agree.

Forgedlite wheels, the are 💯 forged and weight over 10 pounds lighter per wheel vs. oem wheels. Theses wheels also have a lifetime structure warranty. Very happy with them and highly recommended.

It’s a 90% isopropyl alcohol 5-6 ounces mixed with 28-30 ounces of distilled water. This solution mix is great for cleaning everything, this is what you use between all steps of paint correction and clay bar, it will get the car super clean. Also used on the glass, plastic, wheels, leather before coating. This solution will get any oils from touching or leftover compounds off the paint.

@@nrdemon1031 Thank you so much! Ready to move forward now.

Thanks! A few more goodies to come, stay tuned 😊

Thanks Kerry

👍

Nice

I have used several of the other products out there, can honestly say UndrDog is the easiest to apply and safe for all surfaces. You will be very happy if you go with Undrdog.

😊Awesome and congratulations on your build this week! I do like those Z06 wings, they look nice.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Checkout the other video in the description of when we did a hypersonic grey car last year. That video gives more detail on the paint correction process.

They are the edge red, I must have just made the cutoff, my car is number 773 of the anniversary cars produced so far. It will be interesting to see how many they end up making.

Good question, I will probably do refresh In 1-2 years depending on the Wear. In theory you could do two Coates.

Yea, im wondering how people get brand new cars...brand new 80,000$ cars. Now, i know men tyoically have better access to capital the older tgey are and if they have no kids and wife they tend to be able to move money around the way they want. He could be in IT or cyber security. 2 years of savings and modest living can get you there.

Lol

This product would be fine, just clean the seats good first.

Likely similar outcomes, but this product you could do your car yourself for under $100.

@@nrdemon1031 You worry for 100 bucks in a 70.000 dollar car ?

@@hb-ol9oc I actually do, this is how I can afford these cars, have to be smart with your money.

👍

The front lift still works even if lowered.

Yes I understand that it still works but when you lower it isn't it equivalent to not having the front lift if you understand what I'm saying

@@fredholland5723 it’s about having a more aggressive stance and eliminating the gap between the wheel and fender. I sue the lift all the time which makes it easier to drive a lowered car.

Yes I agree it does look much better but if you lower it does it comes up to the same height as it would if it wasn't lowered what I'm trying to say

Lol 😂

It’s such a small amount it won’t be an issue.

Xpel and Undrdog coating and be careful driving.

@@nrdemon1031 I'm getting it for the looks. It's a very beautiful vehicle. I am contemplating sending it to Hennessey tho' for the supercharger upgrade. Just in case I gotta go catch a few kitties😂

@@tracyallen2351 I’m not sold yet on the big engine mods, not sure how reliability is over time and wear and tear on transmission and axle. Get a set of ForgedLite Wheels to make your car stand out, Mike has the contact information in the description of this video.

You can use your other favorites products doesn’t have to be theirs. I will say my experience is the Soap is really good.

Yes, two completely different things, you put the coating over the ppf Film.

It’s the same as the pro/auto, the only reason it’s called Marine is because of the size of bottle which is 100 ml. Using the code brinkofspeed you can purchase for under $120, this is enough to do 3-4 cars. The Undrdog Marine is the best value coating product.

They do not have the inserts.

I didn’t, but that is a good point if you had ppf’d then you would coat over that once that was done.

@@nrdemon1031what made you decide against PPF? Will this coating be enough protection?

@@eddiev737 I knew I wasn’t keeping the car long term. My new z06 coming I will do ppf, track pack.

Yes, flash times on film and glass is 2-3 minutes.

Haven’t used that product.

So many opinions on that, most would say 4-6 weeks after your car is delivered.

If you scroll down in the description you will see a previous video of my Hypersonic Grey car, we go into detail on all the pre coating steps.

I hear ya, but it’s incredible in person.

Hey Kerry, the 3LT was a no brainer for me because I have a rapid blue HTC and did the tension/twilight dipped, which is only available in 3LT. There isn’t much suede in mine, and the quality of the leather is much nicer to me than what’s in the 2LT. Just my opinion. Whatever you get you will love it! Looking forward to hearing about it when you get it!

@@doughooks7411 Hey Doug, I got my car in February. I was really lucky. In July 2021, we jumped off the PA Turnpike and went to one of our local dealerships. For once, “I was that guy”, you know, the guy that you wish you were when trying to get something you really want. I asked the salesman that greeted me if I could get a reservation on their C8 list. I was told they don’t have a list. The first person through the door with a $5,000 deposit would get their first and perhaps only allocation. (This dealership receives only one or two Corvette allocations per year.) The next morning I was there a half hour before they opened with my deposit. The Corvette Specialist was on vacation so I had to return 7/22/2021 to work on an initial order. I “kindly asked how much will I be paying”? To my surprise, I was told whatever the MSRP comes in at! 11/8/2021, the allocation was received. If I wanted to make this cycle’s deadline, I had to submit a final detailed order by 11/11/2021. 2022 Red Mist 2LT HTC, Z51, GT2 Seats in Jet Black Napa Leather, Black Seat Belts & Calipers, Mag Ride, Front Lift, Battery Protection Package, Carbon Flash Painted Mirrors & Z51 Spoiler, “Jake” Cargo Liners, All Weather Floor Mats (I highly recommend these), Tow Hook (Hopefully never needed) and the Standard Wheels. The build MSRP came in at $90,115 with a $50 credit for the Park Assist. The Park Assist and Splash Guards were on constraint. Still waiting for the Park Assist, but got the ACS Rock Guards. The “mud flaps” lol are a little pricey at $529 (Tax included), but in my research IMO they are the best product out there. I’m 66 and the Carbon Fiber doesn’t do much for me, so other than what comes with the seats, I didn’t have any in the order. IMO it’s pretty expensive for what you get.) Actually, a lot changed as to my final build: went from the Coupe to HTC, from Elkhart Lake Blue to Red Mist and decided to add Front Lift. Was very glad to have my wife onboard and she loves the HTC. Was easy, like in the blink of an eye to add around another $11,000 with those changes. It was February 14, 2022 when the C8 arrived at the dealership and since I’m in PA and there was a lot of stones and anti-skid materials on the roads the dealership was very happy to keep my car in their showroom for about 2 weeks. For the dealership, I was told it was a big deal for them to have a Corvette in the showroom for a few weeks since they only get 1 or 2 like I said earlier. Justin HPO through his Vlogs swayed me into having PPF and Ceramic Coating done. So the guys from Blackout Tinting picked up my car in late February and used an enclosed trailer to take the car to their shop in Latrobe PA. They returned it to my house in about a week. PPF for the entire car ran $6,000 and it seems to be doing well for the first 1,100 miles. I got half price for the CC. It was hard from March until late April or early May to keep the C8 in the garage until the stones were pretty much gone/cleaned up by the DOT. HOW ABOUT IT! These cars are FANTASTIC!!! FYI: In real life, my first name is Doug Take care, enjoy the C8 while you can! It’s almost time for mine to go into Hibernation. I’m not sure of your location. See you in the Live Streams. I usually do Vette Syndicate, BOS Octane Hour and Racer X

@@kerry_glock Okay. I guess I didn’t know that you already had it or I had forgotten…likely the latter😂. Great story on your journey, and I appreciate you sharing it! I have a 2016 Z06 that I bought new from Bomnin Chevrolet in Miami back in August 2016. MSRP was $96.8 and I got it for $77.5. I waited until warranty was out and had it modded by Vengeance Racing with a stage three package that took it to 681/675 wheel and I love it! I didn’t really want to get rid of it so I decided to keep it and also get the C8. There is a local dealership that I bought the C8 from who only charges MSRP and I put my name on the list in March 2021 behind nine others with a 5k deposit that would go towards MSRP. My number came up In January and I had planned on the red mist coupe. In the meantime, my wife told me she loved the HTC in rapid blue, so I decided to surprise her and get it for her since I would be keeping the Z06. My order was a rapid blue 3LT, twilight/tension blue, HTC, Z51 w/mag ride, front lift, battery protection, Jake floor/liner protection pkg, Spectra gray wheels, black calipers, and carbon fiber interior. I also did body colored accents, spoiler, mirrors, and top/nacelles. All body color. Total build came to $96,615.00. My park assist was also on constraint so I got the big $50 credit and am also still waiting on that. I had the dealership install grill and intake guards, and ACS 1VM splitter and side skirts and ACS rock guards. All extra parts were shipped to the dealership so my wife would be unaware of the surprise. As to the surprise, she had not seen the twilight/tension interior in person, so when the car was ready to go I had the dealership send me a text saying they had one up there with that interior for us to look at. We got there and it was finishing clean up so not in sight. We sat in the back office and talked about why our number had not come up yet (obviously it had and she didn’t know) then they finally brought it in. We could not see it but could hear it. When we walked into the showroom and saw it, my wife said it was the most beautiful car she had ever seen. She soon found out it was her car and was very happy and surprised. After delivery I also contacted Justin @HPO via email to get the skinny on PPF. I am in the southeast but not close to either of his shops so I went with someone locally and did full XPEL PPF ($6K) and XPEL CC ($500) and am very happy with it. We still have 70+ temps and rarely get snow so we have year around capabilities with the cars. My Z06 doesn’t get out much when it is really cold because I don’t always get great traction despite having put a set of TOYO 888s on the rear. I am 57 and my wife 56, but we both are car nuts and enjoy them very much! I love the ease of the HTC as opposed to having to remove and stow the targa on my Z, but I despise the look of a soft top convertible. I am also a subscriber on Brink, HPO, and Racer X, and I do see you on Octane Hour and HPO streams but rarely watch the Racer X show. I may need to bring that into my cross check also! I’m sure to see you on the shows and will definitely say “hello” when I see you there! 💪🇺🇸

@@doughooks7411 both cars sound fantastic! Your C8 build is very close to mine. Great choice on those liners. I strongly recommend them “if you can get them”. I sure wish they’d get around to getting the Park Assist out to us. I have a 2009 C6 Z51. Maybe you remember the Magazine Article back in 2009 “The Killer Zs”. My 2009 arrived in one of our local dealerships in the Altoona PA area in December 2008. I began to keep my eye on it. I would take my son to his music lesson when my wife couldn’t do it. For 4 months time, I’d drive past the dealership and the C6 was still in the showroom. I said to my wife in April, I’d like to buy that car as a retirement present to myself. Well, she said you’re not going to have 3 Corvettes, so you need to sell one. I had at that time a 1976 and a 1995. I sold the 1995 and used those funds towards the 2009. I bought the C6 for $52k it had a $58,600 MSRP. Was lucky because that dealership would rarely sell any Corvette below MSRP. So I still have the 2009 with only 7,200 miles on it. Congratulations on having a ZO6!

Yeah, I’ve noticed that, I’m not sure why GM did that. They are a little darker but nothing compared to the rest of the interior.

@@BrinkofSpeed I actually thought I got the wrong cover. Had my dealer get a new one. When it came in grey too, I painted mine. Looks just like the website now.

You can, but if you want it absolutely perfect, you will follow his process. You can just wash your paint thoroughly, dry it, rub it down with alcohol, then start coating. It will still be affective.

No change in texture, no slickness.

It’s rated as a 5 year coating product, how often you wash your car and what type of elements it’s in day to day will impact that. Also you want to use the proper soaps when washing. For normal person 3-5 years should be reasonable lifespan.

Add more to it and then wipe it off.

You can also just polish it off and start over, that is what I would do.

I had the allocation in April but had to wait for the constraints to lift before they built it with all then options.

He waited 29 months for this car.

The 70th anniversary card that come on either Carbon Flash Metallic or Pearl White Metallic is the only way to get the suede alcantara dash on a c8. The other models even if 3LT package are leather.

@@nrdemon1031 thanks for clarifying. I ordered the 3LT HTC (non 70th) with Alcantara. I was hoping to get it everywhere. Does this mean I get it everywhere the 70th gets Alcantara suede except the dash? This information is hard to come by.

@@BSTatonka not sure I think it depends, if you get the “dipped” interior which I think is only the red or natural interior you get the center console and pretty much everything minus the dash.

@@nrdemon1031 sorry I should have been specific. I ordered the all 3LT with GT2 seats. I selected black with red stitching seats, steering wheel and interior. I wanted as much black Alcantara as I could get. If I would have known in needed the 70th anniversary edition I would have paid extra. Thanks for responding.

The UndrDog Pro is a 5+ year product, off course it will depend how often the car is washed and how much it’s in harsh environments. I use the product on all my cars for the shine and it makes cleaning the car so much easier and it stays cleaner longer. Well worth and it’s great that Undrdog specifically is making a DIY product that is easy to use even if you have zero experience.

Yes we used clay bar and two step paint correction. If you search the videos or look in this description you will see a previous video showing those steps.

Same difference, but it’s much easier to apply and had the same hydrophobic properties and paint protection. Will last 5+ years.

It is because of a few reasons. 1: It’s much easier to work with. 2: It has slower flash times. 3: If you miss a spot it’s easy to fix. 4: It’s not claiming to be something it really isn’t. Most ceramics are mostly marketing. Hardly any products are what they say they are. 5: You can do so much with UndrDogs coating too.

I’m in put my order in this morning I’m also looking for polisher recommendations don’t need professional grade just useable and reliability Happy Thanksgiving and God Bless!

@@danielplummer9902 look In the description of this video you will see a link for polishing equipment and the compounds used via Chemical Guys, $250 will get you the polisher and two compounds you need. Let us know if you need any help.
