1970 1/2 Camaro - Shine by Pinnacle - Modeled by Nicole
The first time we buffed out Tommy's Camaro I had never met Nicole before so I invited Amy to showcase the car. Unknown to me at the time was that Nicole had offered to come to Autogeek and help buff out her dad's car...

Learning to machine polish
First up was to show Thomas and his daughter Nicole how to use a DA Polisher for the first time... I got Thomas trained and right to work...

How to prime a foam pad when using a DA Polisher
A little hands-on training to show Nicole how to use a DA Polisher to remove swirls...
Polishing like a Pro!
Father and daughter tackling the roof...
Then I shared a few tips and techniques for how to gently remove a finishing wax and turned Nicole and Thomas loose...
After we machine polished out all of the defects we machine applied Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax...
Here's some after shots...
Classic Camaro with a glassy wet-looking finish created entirely by machine and finished off using Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax...
I present Nicole, modeling her Dad's 1970 1/2 Camaro...
You can learn how we polished the paint on this Camaro to perfection in this thread,
Moving ahead...
Then later, after meeting and getting to know Nicole I asked her to model this Corvette,
1972 Corvette Stingray - Extreme Makeover - Process and Products Used
Fast forward...
Then last Friday when we worked on Frank's 1939 Lincoln Zephyr, Tommy drove up from West Palm Beach to lend some muscle to the project and drove his 1970 Camaro to Autogeek as he loves breaking necks wherever he drives his highly polished beast.
