Final Touch Detail - 2010 SS Camaro Paint Correction

[FinalTouchAuto]

Process involved:

Wheels were cleaned with Showroom FX's Wheel Cleaner and Various Brushes
Car was washed with with Chemical Guy's Citrus Wash and Gloss through an Autogeek Foam Gun
Claymagic Claybar (can be purchased through Showroom FX) was used to remove the contaminants from the paint before polishing
The car was compounded with Meguiar's M105 via Flex and Orange pad at speed 6
The car was then finished off with Meguiar's M205 via Flex and Green pad at speed 5
Everything was sealed using Showroom FX Blazin Maize sealant on Black pad at speed 3
The car received the final wipedown with Showroom FX's Detail Mist with Showroom FX Gray Plush Microfibers
The wheels and exhaust tips were lightly cleaned/polished/sealed with Chemical Guy's Metal Polish
The Wheels/Trim/Rear Valance/Front Grill were dressed with Chemical Guy's VRP Dressing and I used the Showroom FX 4" applicator puck for the tires. It's easily the best tire applicator I have used.
The Wheel Wells were treated with Chemical Guy's Bare Bones spray
The entire interior was wiped down and vacuumed as well to clean it up.

So here are some pictures.

This picture was to show the wheel wells

This picture was to show the hard water spotting, rather than the swirls.

It was cloudy at this point so I was just using my swirlfinder to get them out.

Sun decided to come out for us, so we backed it out for some pictures

Taped it up prior to polishing

The sun started to really cooperate at this point

This was the door

So you get the picture...the car was a swirly mess.

I hit it hard with M105 and then worked M205 for a while to finesse it, and it came out great, made the flake pop, and literally made the entire car look a shade darker. It was awesome.

I only polished the outside of the exhaust. Inside polishing is a different deal all together.

This is a reflection shot in bright 2pm sunlight...none of this "in the shade" reflection bs

Cleaned and dressed the entire grill with Chemical Guys VRP dressing

I LOVE Bare Bones for quick wheel well dressing

Nice work...

I agree with you Robert, Chevy hit a home run with the body design on the new Camaros...

I'd still choose a First Generation over a new one for the money but the new body style does look nice, especially when it's been polished to look like a glistening gemstone like above...

Thanks

This color combination is my favorite on the new Camaros. Well, this and white with red stripes. Both are dead sexy combinations.

Beautiful job on the Camaro! :dblthumb2:

I was just saying to a friend of mine that I'd love to get my hands on one of the newer pony cars for detailing. Seems most of my work consists of the BMW and the like German cars.

Nice to see another Texan workin' in the sun!

Looking good, Shawn. In the first few pictures I thought the car was black, until the pics of the flake popping Nice finishing down! The paint looks crystal clear.
