Mirror Detailing & Fast Eddy's Detailing (SouthrnStyle) Did this one.

Customer just bought this car last weekend and the day he dropped it off he knew it needed some work. Gave us a call and we got up there and knocked it out. It was in pretty bad shape for only 9k miles. Plus it did not help that the dealership had detailed it before.

Process...

Wash:
Autogeek Foam Gun - CG Citrous Wash'N'Gloss
Pinnical Ultra Clay - ONR Lube

Paint Correction:
M105 - Surbuff Pad - Porter Cable DA
M105 - LC Orange Pad - GG DA
SIP - LC White Pad - GG DA

LSP:
Menzerna Powerlock x2 Coats
Jet Seal on Rims

Before:

It looks great. Night and day difference. :xyxthumbs:
I'm concerned about that power cord underneath the car while you are washing it.
 
First off I can't believe how bad the finish looked being that new with only 9,000 miles of it.

No Camaro should look that way! You did a fantastic job restoring not only the cars finish but the legend as well....
 
GREAT JOB! That guy shouldn't own such a beautiful car if that's how he's gonna take care of it!! From a proud CAMARO owner who washes and detailes her car weekly.
 
Simply amazing. Very impressive. Would love to have seen even more pics. Such good work by others never ceases to amaze me.

That last pic brought to mind that song where the line goes, "I can see for miles and miles and miles...".
 
Nice job! Any particular reason you used the PC with surbuf pads rather than the GG?
 
Great job correcting the paint surface. Keep up the great work.
 
Good god, that thing was hammered. Amazing how quickly an amateur can destroy a car. Looks like you've brought it back though.

Just a question: Why SIP as your final polish?

Becuasse if you do it right, SIP corrects and finishes down nicely. The only other step past here would have been Super Finish with a Gold LC Pad, but this thing was already crisp after 3 buffs.
 
Wow that's an amazing turn around. I love those New Camaros. They look chunky and muscular like the originals while holding a modern stance!

I think that might be a pressure washer hose. I sure hope it is ;)
 
Well I love my Camaro and buy a lot of product right here for the car. I have become a Detailing Addict! I had an Chevy SSR that I showed and NEVER got the interest I have gotten with my Camaro. I LOVE MY CAMARO!!!
 
Man, some people just don't learn. If you care about a car, especially a dark colored one, do it your self right to take it to someone who does actually care.
 
Great correction.

Let me ask you a question...

How much CG Citrus Wash 'n Gloss do you use in your foam gun? I tend to feel that even cutting it down to .75oz it is still stripping some LSP...not a problem when doing a full detail, but somewhat annoying if just cleaning up a car.
