Mike Phillips Revives 1965 Corvette Sting Ray with NSP Z1

Last Updated January 26, 2023

From Mike: “The new Dr. Beasley’s Z1 works great as you can see by the before and after results in the pictures above. Besides excellent correction ability, shine and gloss, this AIO also leaves behind durable ceramic nanocoating protection that can last up to one year.

Modify cut by modifying pads

I increased the cutting ability for the passenger door and the driver’s side rear quarter panel by using Lake Country 6.5″ Force Hybrid Foam Cutting pads (orange). These two areas had much worse swirls and scratches. For the rest of the car I used Lake Country 6.5″ Force Hybrid Foam Polishing pads (white)

The stuff I used

Pads used: 6.5 inch Lake Country Force Hybrid Orange Cutting Pad and 6.5 inch Lake Country Force Hybrid White Polishing Pad
Tool used: FLEX Supa BEAST with 6″ backing plate

And of course, Dr. Beasley’s NSP Z1.”


As Mike worked on the Sting Ray, he documented his work in a series of tip videos posted to Instagram and Facebook. We’ve posted the clips featuring Z1 on below, but if you’d like to see the rest, please visit the Instagram and Facebook links above.
