1999 Chevy Camaro (overdue for detailing)

[HotRod]

This Camaro had not been detailed for a long time. The customer is trying to sell the car, so she had me work some magic on it. It got a full paint correction, headlight restoration and full interior cleaning.
Paint correction process:
Wash
Clay
M105 wool pad
M205 foam pad
3M ultrafine with blue ultrafina pad
LSP Blackfire Wet Diamond
Headlight restoration-(see my headlight thread for process)
Interior
Hot water extracted carpet, a lot of stains and a little mold
Cleaned and treated leather seats
Cleaned all plastic and vinyl panels inside and dressed as well.
It was about a 2 day job. I am happy with the results and so was the customer. When she first saw it, she said "Wow, it really shines now."

After rain, the water beads up nicely. This was the first time I used Blackfire

120% turn around!!!!!! The exterior looks like it just came off the production line. The interior looked to be extremely tough to fix but you made it look brand new! Its amazing to think how much more money someone will be willing to pay for that car once your full correction was done! "Cha-Ching"

Thats some top notch work! The interior of the car came out to looking factory new along with the paint. What did you use to get the stains out? Were they coffee stains? They have been my worst enemy since I can never completely removed them.

Nice man. Sun shots next time! If you do good on a black car, show it off!

I am not sure what the stains were. I use several different chemicals when cleaning carpet. I use Traffic Lane Cleaner, Unbelievable Carpet Cleaner, and Meguiars All Purpose cleaner.

Wow... nice job. Black is by far the single best color out there, particularly when at full gloss.

I used M40 on the dash and door panels. And I used Mequiars all purpose cleaner to clean the leather seats, and Lexol as a leather treatment.

What a transformation! This will definitely increase his profits at sale time, if he doesn't decide to keep it

What did you use on the headlights? They turned out perfect!

Strong work!

Check out this thread. It shows my method for restoring headlights.

I'm not sure where your located at BUT, if that V6 Camero were down here in Deep South Texas, it would be sold quickly. People down here want those cars, especially since it look nice now and BLACK.
