'02 Camaro... Merry Christmas Dad

[calhoun1]

Well, since I had some time off as I am going between two commands (Navy) I was able to come home to Texas. Well, I decided to treat my dad's car (and my dad) to a 2 step polish.

This car is a Daily Driver with 106K miles on it. My dad and I together spent 12 hours, so around 24 man-hours are in this.

Used PC7424

Cleaned Wheels with Armor All Wheel Cleaner (Full bottle gone, was laying around in the garage, and worked well.)
Wash - WG Auto Bath (thanks for the sample AG)
Clay - Megs
SIP - Orange 5.5" LCS
106FA - White 5.5" CCS
WG DGPS - Blue 5.5" LCS
12 hour cure then a coat of WG Fuzion

Rims with a bit of Chrome Polish(think it was mothers)
Followed with Meg's Cleaner Wax for protection.
Tires with Pinnacle Black Onyx Tire Gel

Cleaned the engine compartment with Simple Green and elbow grease.
Dressed with Mothers Back to Black.


Enjoy the great before and afters.

It sure was in need of some care, nice recovery!

What did you use to clean the wheels?

 

[calhoun1]

Thanks!!

Oh yea, forgot to add that. Will add that up there.

But just used some Armor All Wheel Cleaner. Cut right through the junk. My dad had it laying around so I decided to use it since we were out of Simple Green. Used a full bottle of the stuff on the wheels.

Dressed the wheels with Pinnacle Black Onyx Tire gel.

Thanks all. I was happy to do it for him. It's a lot of work but oh so relaxing to detail. Just you and the buffer and the car. Quite peaceful and relaxing.

Great job bro, just wanted to note that Mothers Cleaner Wax won't leave any protection, its a "cleaner". Just for future reference.
