2010 SS Camaro Detail - Full Paint Correction (lots of pics) - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I know a lot of you guys are also part of the West Houston Muscle club, so maybe you'll get to see Josh out at one of the next Sat. night street meets with his freshly detailed Blue 2010...it came out great.

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 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. I got NEAR perfection out of it from the M105 and M205 combo....

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
