This customer dropped his car off to me along with his friend's Trans Am, both for extensive swirl removal. The camaro had just received a new set of hockey stripes so special care was needed during the course of the detail. The rest of the car had numerous problem areas that needed to be sorted out. There was heavy oxidation on the rear spoiler and ground effects, severe swirls throughout, heavy rotary buffer trails on doors, and numerous holograms on the hood. All issues were sorted out over the course of the 2-day detail.









It was a busy week and due to time constraints I had to wash it at night, in the rain... The car isn't soaking wet from me spraying it down, its just from 2 minutes of rain. It was POURING down!

After finishing the wash it was clayed to remove heavy contimination (wiped out a brand new bar), then dried and now you can see the true condition of the paint and the severity of the swirls and scratches...

You can see scuff marks here side-to-side from the application process of the stripes

After multiple IPA wipedowns, a coat of Blackfire Wet Diamond was applied and allowed to cure overnight. The next morning it was removed and finished pics were taken. It was overcast, so no sun pics unfortunately.

Thanks for lookin!
 
Looks great. That thing was pretty hacked up. Had a little bit of everything for you to correct and you took care of it.

I like that license plate too, pretty funny.
 
I assume the paint was way to beat up to get anywhere near 100% correction? Nonetheless, excellent job as usual!

What polishes and pads did you use? Did you only use the PCxp?
 
That car was in horrible shape. It almost made me sick. Great work. Nice 50/50 shots.

I had to go back and forth to your before then after....
Once again BRAVO fantastic job!! :dblthumb2:
 
Looks great... What did you do to correct the bird drop etchings on thw wing?
 
Wow that thing was thrashed! And are those Mustang wheels?

Good save! The car probably doubled in value.
 
I guess this means repeat business for you since he is not to keen into exterior car maintenance.
