Interesting today while driving to work (not in my StingRay). Across the interstate (I-57 Northbound) here in Central Illinois, I observed a semi-pulled, large size car carrier hauling a full load of Stingrays. My first thought was "There will be some happy folks soon", and then I realized that all of them were wearing the white plastic covers that were flapping in the wind. I guess this is a good day for the Paint Correction folks and those skilled like glen e. I have great respect for these skilled artisans who have addressed paint issues on their Vettes.
I of course could not get a picture because I was driving. Maybe I am all wrong to be salty about it, but the scuffing on my rear spoiler and trunk lid are in my mind attributable to this procedure and "protection". I found myself looking closely at the paint on my DD, a 2014 Yukon XL Denali in the White Diamond Tintcoat. Though I am not trained to evaluate paint, my untrained eye thinks that it looks perfect. Yesterday, I washed, clayed, and used Adams Buttery Wax on the Yukon so I had a perfect opportunity to inspect the paint. To me, there is minimal orange peel, no scratching, or scuffing. It looks fantastic and glows.
The StingRay is a flagship and deserves better. I guess one can prevent this with Museum Delivery, but that wasn't an option for the Premiere Edition Vert.
Sorry about the whine. I love the car and with all of the great examples and encouragement on the Forum, I may attack the clear coat scuffs with a Griott Polisher and follow the strict guidelines available on this great resource for StingRay owners.
