Video & Pictures: 2012 Black Camaro Convertible - Blackfire Show Car Makeover!
Before ShotsI didn't get a lot or very good camera shots to show the before condition but here's a few....
This shot is just to frame up the below shot which I cropped out of this shot. The thing to remember is the entire finish, both horizontal panels and vertical panels were completely trashed with scratches.
This is the passenger side front corner of the hood...
Dull, hazy, filled with swirls and scratches and the clearcoat was no where near clear.
And this is off a BRAND NEW CAR?
If you watched the Live Broadcast, you saw me clay most, not all but most of JUST the hood. Keep in mind this Camaro has only 2000 miles on it since purchased new. Look at all the brown crud that came off the hood using Blackfire Detailing Clay.
Where has this car been since rolling out of the assembly plant?
Anyone want to guess what the brown stuff is?
And here's the beauty shots...
This is Ivan, the Autogeek company logo character...
Thank You!
A huge thank you to Al for trusting Autogeek with his new toy!
A huge thank you to the Autogeek Thursday Night Detail Team for all your hard work to create a work of art...
Here's some pictures of the people behind the process...
This is Al the owner, he actually did a lot of machine buffing work to his own car but the only picture I have is of him wiping polish off...
Here's Todd showing Juan some tips and techniques for using the Flex 3401
Here's Forrest polishing with Blackfire SRC Finishing Polish with a PC 7424XP
Here's Adam using the PC 7424XP to remove swirls out of a Camaro clear coat using Blackfire SRC Compound
Here's Tyler using the Flex 3401 with a foam cutting pad and Blackfire SRC Compound to remove swirls out of the front clip...
I would trust Tyler to work on ANY of car project cars by machine...
Here's Juan machine applying Blackfire Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection
Me working on the lower portion of the passenger door panel...
Here's our Moderator of the thread for the live broadcast Nick!
