Bro, I don't know what you are doing differently, but the paint on your car looks amazing in the videos... and the car sounds great with the Cut outs...

I have washed the car a total of 7 times in over 1 year, i dust mostly and wipe with Nano Wax. I cut and buffed it when i first purchased it with deep wool and 3M, makes the car a different Victory Red. Everyone with Victory Red says the same thing and you can tell a difference right away! My red is deeper and more luxurious than other Victory Red Camaro's due to the cut n buff i am sure?

I'm headed off to find out about this technique...

do you rub the entire car with steel wool and then buff it...

I realize this is way over simplified but...

A wool buffing pad, but be very careful it is east to burn the clear coat! i also use a scotch pad white in color to scuff it in some problem areas then use a rubbing compound to hit it with wool then a finishing compound preferably 3M!
I use a very high speed but i have done it for over 30 years and it is second nature!

I'll pass... I try that and it'll be time for a repaint immediately...

or I could go for the rat rod look...

Yeah it really does take a special hand to massage the paint, i would not trust any detail shops ever with a buffer in their hands, i do it or it does not get done period!

So, when you coming to Texas... I could gain a couple miles an hour at the mile with paint that slick...

J/K, but if you ever do come down this way, please look me up...
