Lok's eXtreme car detailing (my own Camaro)
Been driving my Camaro for 10 months and I've decided to do a complete detail job on my own.
So, I've spent my last 5 days doing some eXtreme detailing with my Camaro 1LT. Wash: Meguiar's Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo Autoglym Custom Wheels Cleaner Mother's Clay bar Polish: Meguiar's Heavy Cut Cleaner Meguiar's Fine Cut Cleaner Meguiar's Swirl Remover 2.0 Wax/Sealant: Bilt Hamber Auto Balm Autoglym HD Wax Armor All Wheel Sealant Other: Autoglym Vinyl and Rubber conditioner Mother's Metal Polish Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Detailer Meguiar's NXT Insane Shine Tire Spray Porter Cable 7424XP Polisher LC Pads 500W x 2 work light work stool masking tape lots of microfiber cloths Pics: masking See the scratches and swirls? All gone ! Polished, before applying wax (this is where all the shine should come from) Exhaust tips polished! Reflection shots: Detail shots: Inferno Orange Metallic: Water beading test (results: water beads like crazy !! lol) |

Your car looks amazing,
Why the tape? Will the material being used "attack" the black plastic and rubber trim? |

WOW I thought I was the only one around here that doesn't use Adams or Zaino. Looks awesome. You did a excellent job.
Quick question have you tried Mequires 105 and 205 it might have saved you a step on the polish. All in all looks awesome though. I am waiting on some products to get started on mine. |

That looks great man! Phenomenal job. My Adams's "Junkman" kit, and a few other things will be arriving sometime next week. Can't wait to get started to get mine looking like that! Looks fantastic.

Is that a little water spot on the top of the front bowtie?? Tsk tsk..
Looks awesome man! How do you go about polishing your exhaust tips? That's something I still don't have a clue how to do properly. |

Flitz Ball Combo I think I'm going to order Chemical Guy's power ball instead this time.. Its 1/2 the price... But I'm trying to convince myself not to, because if its as bad as their 50% of their products, I should just spend the extra money now.

I use a terry cloth and a little metal polish for the exhaust tip... the stains were pretty easy to take off with the metal polish. |
