Re: Photoshoot with a Crystal Red ZR1 cousin
Happy update: my husband ended up selling his C5 and '13 427 and buying the ZR1, so these two are now stablemates
 Here they are at VIR this past weekend - our first HPDE with them - where both performed spectacularly well. |

Re: Photoshoot with a Crystal Red ZR1 cousin
Your Polo ZR-1 looks great! I also had paint correction done on my Polo '95. It looked like new paint. Even Tony Gaples (old ZR-1 hand) commented on it at a local car show, asking if I had had it repainted. I had an expert detailer do it (but in my garage) rather than do it myself. I did use Dr. Color Chip about 3 weeks ahead of the correction at the suggestion of the detailer since the correction process does not cure scratches and chips. And I did not put a ceramic coating on it, just the correction. I did put ceramic on the new Z06. Below is a link to my thread on getting it done. --Bob

Yours turned out absolutely gorgeous! Removing scratches and swirls really darkens it and deepens the shine.

New boots were installed on the front tie rods. Heat shields were installed to protect the boots. The ride height was set with six threads in the front and 12 threads in the rear. When adjusting the ride height the threaded sleeve must be held to prevent rotation.” |
