I didn't think I liked this color until I saw it on this car. With all the gloss black trimming it = very nice. Congratulations on the success of owning this many great cars.

Seeing the C8? Makes me feel like I did when I was in Jr high school. And slid down the rope in gym class. It is nothing short of stunning.

[@joebowers3060]

Another great video, Chris! I bought a set of quick jacks recently for my C7 Z06 but have not used them yet. Did you only use the blocks that came with the lift? Or do you recommend using a set of pucks along with the blocks? My concern is the CF side skirts and clearance so I don’t crack them. Thanks.

Thanks for showing the reality of setting up QJ and each lift job. I have a set that I use on C6Z. A bit of setup time and triple checks on your knees are required. Once car is up, it is great.

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Good stuff!

[@drifter2090]

Love my quickjacks! I usually run the hoses under the car through the center, and just push them to the sides when the car is up

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Good tip!

[@EdA-bz3bu]

I keep my quick jacks connected and on the ground to the side since I am maintaining over a dozen cars. I also put rollers underneath them so just roll them instead of dragging them I made sure everyone is aware of the rollers so they will not step on the jakes and go flying from under them. for the C8 they have shock mount covers and engine vent plugs/covers. as always good for you and don't forget the heat pump for the garage and blow in insulation in the attic if you don't already have. 😄

[@icurt06]

Love the color of the Z06. I ceramic coat the wheels and brake calipers of my Vette. The brakes dust rinses right off with my power washer.

[@machineheadfan1130]

TL;DR I love your spec dude! The full Riptide Blue body + roof is perfect with the black accents of the mirrors, air vents, and rear wing! As a classic Corvette fan, the old Corvettes have a classy, badass design and need a classy color like a deep dark red; while the new Corvettes, approaching hypercar status, need more vibrant, exotic colors! IMO! I love your spec dude! I've been torn between deciding if I want the air vent accents on the side to be the same as the body color. My favorite color is blue too - was also torn between deciding if I like Rapid Blue or the Riptide Blue, or even the Elkhart Lake Blue that's now discontinued - and while I love how the Rapid Blue just pops, it lacks all the color depth that the Riptide Blue brings, and I finally decided that it looks better than the slightly darker Elkhart Lake Blue. So as for the air vent accents, I couldn't decide if I wanted the black carbon fiber roof in combination with the carbon fiber air vent accents, or the air vent accents to be the same color as the body. But man, your Corvette is the way to go! The coupe hardtop needs to be body color! It looks weird being black, the way the silhouette of the blue is cut off by the black. And the mirrors, air vents, and rear wing being black is the perfect way to accent the full blue body! I'm a diehard classic Corvette fan of the 60's C2 models and early 70's C3 models (any Corvette '63-'72, as in '73 they got rid of the front chrome bumper and in '74 the rear chrome bumper all together as well. In my opinion the sharp lines on the front of the Corvette NEED the chrome accent; it's perfect - the difference is night and day). The classic Corvettes have a classy, badass design, and this deserves a classy darker red, like Marlboro Red (or even dark blue or dark green, etc). I love a deep red on a Corvette, even though my favorite color is blue. But I struggle to love the Red Mist Metallic on the C8 Corvette. And the Riptide Blue Metallic just captures me and stuns me. I couldn't figure it out for the life of me but I recently discovered why. In my mind, the personality of Corvettes has changed. The classic Corvettes deserve classy, deeper, darker colors, and the new C8 Corvettes, approaching hypercar status, deserve brighter, more vibrant and exotic colors!

Only person I know of that uses quick jacks for detailing cars. I never thought of that but I did power wash beneath my car with them. Thanks for your fresh ideas and nice mustang.

[@ChrisSullivan69]

[@whetski]

Beautiful C8! My favorite color for that car. I have a C5 and use the QuickJacks with it. They are great for doing any wheel work, brakes, oil changes, and I was even able to get a Borla S Type exhaust installed. That's about the extent of my skills. I wouldn't dare attempt the motor work like you do. I know the weight distribution on my C5 is pretty balanced so it doesn't matter too much the orientation of which way you lift. The Mustang is a different beast, and looks like you had them oriented correctly for that car. From watching your vids, as detail oriented as you seem to be, I'm sure you read that and had it figured out ahead of time. I didn't get the "lift points" manual with my QJ's. I just watched several videos and read the instructions completely before using them. You are right about the factory tour. I live about an hour south of Nashville and have been to the museum a couple times, but haven't done the factory tour yet. It is my understanding that they are going to stop doing the factory tours either later this year, or sometime next year. So I need to get back up there and do the factory tour before the stop doing them. Nice job on the ceramic! Your passion for your cars shows! Love watching your vids.

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Thanks!

[@stevenhenry3385]

The Z06 is a beast bro. I’ve seen several videos on these cars and they have yet to disappoint anyone who had the opportunity to experience the ride.

[@fleetmanagement7303]

I just roll up a coupe towels and block the vents so water doesn't get in. They do have silicone molded covers available, but a towel works just fine. Also, a tip for cleaning the engine bay and glass is to use a step stool to get into the rear trunk. It will support your weight fine, and it makes it super easy to clean the engine bay and glass.

[@ChrisSullivan69]

[@legod1717]

I agree with you about the ppf. I take the same approach. I don’t worry about water in the engine compartment. Just don’t directly spray water in there and you will be fine. I just wipe it down after a wash. They have foam blocks but they are $120! They still let some water in so that’s a pass for me. I still have to coat my wheels. I used Adam’s graphene coating on my C8 and it looks great!

[@johnw1178]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Wow, it looks awesome! I love the color! I am surprised that you aren’t putting a protection on the rims. The brake dust takes its toll on them. I wished it was done by the PO on my C6. With 12k miles on it the barrels of the wheels are pitted and clear coat needs some help. I wish you many happy and safe miles with your new sled!!! Thanks for sharing.

the quick jacks are great. I have them for my c6z. Its a must if you like to do your own work and detailing. Can be strain on your back putting them on and off the hangers on the wall ;) Pro tip: mount them low enough where your foot/boot toe can fit under the jack when its hanging on the wall so your foot can "assist" with the lift ;)

[@VS666]

i missed the C8!!! my quickjacks served me very well, i finally sold them last summer because i got a two post. i was very surprised at how much these things go for on the used market, i had people messaging me constantly and i ended up selling them for 1,000 (200 more than i listed them at). i just bought a raptor bronco in a very similiar color and we're getting PPF and ceramic coating next week, can't wait to offroad this bad boy, working on getting the garage as sick as yours 🤪
