Nice! The added step of ultimate compound is not needed for a New Car, but really clears up a older car....polish is the magic secret to good details....congrats.....

Here's a one year old vette I did last year the same way.

Thanks Glen!

Also, I know it's not a Camaro, but just to show "The Master Plan" in action, here is a 2009 Honda Accord I just took care of yesterday for a friend. It was a milky white covered in what I assume was some serious oxidation. She and her husband were planning on getting it painted next year. After doing 4 other cars (3 of them Camaros), I said "Let me take a crack at it first".

I did not get a full before shot. I was going to do the hood only, but after the first half of the hood, I knew it was going to turn out looking like a new car! I followed the same procedure above and here are the before and after shots...

Top shot - Hood - Left side nothing done yet other then step 1 & 2; Right side after compound step 3 only.

Second shot - Roof after doing 1/4 of it on step 3.

Third/Fourth shots - Front and back shots after all 5 steps.
