Seems ive been getting an awful lot of these cars. Local car club likes my work and I am happy to be doing their cars. Ill be able to do a 5th gen Camaro with my eyes closed soon enough!
Anyway, here goes!
Car looked decent until the wax came off. Had a nice coat on it hiding a lot of the swirls.
The interior was in alright shape. Carpets where not extracted, but the mats where thouroughly cleaned and steamed and the entire interior was vacuumed.
Some interior pics
The engine bay WAS quite dirty. A lot of build up in areas. Everything was cleaned and left that way. No dressing. Nothing to attract dust.
The wheels had a decent amount of brake dust as most of these 5th Generation SS's do. I know mine ALWAYS does.
Wheels were polished with CG metal shine which contains a sealnt that should aid in washing and help brake dust not to stick.
Customer didn't leave me the wheel lug locks so instead of a wheels off detail I jacked the side of the car up to expose the fender wells.
Yuck
Compound used was CG V34 with an orange Hex pad and a Flex3401, followed by a CG V36 polish and a white hex pad.
50/50 shot
Another
The flat black stripes on these cars are hard to deal with. They really hold stains, and they scratch if treated too aggressively. This product works wonders.
Yellow carnuba wax was chosen. Yellow carnuba sits well on red paint, and longevity isn't an issue for this car as it is not a daily driver and is garage kept. This is my favorite Yellow Carnuba.
And a little artistic shot to end with!
