Extensive correction on black Camaro Z28 This customer dropped his car off to me along with his friend's Trans Am, both for extensive swirl removal. The camaro had just received a new set of hockey stripes so special care was needed during the course of the detail. The rest of the car had numerous problem areas that needed to be sorted out. There was heavy oxidation on the rear spoiler and ground effects, severe swirls throughout, heavy rotary buffer trails on doors, and numerous holograms on the hood. Correction was done with LC orange and M105 then LC white with Menz SIP. All issues were sorted out over the course of the 2-day detail.
It was a busy week and due to time constraints I had to wash it at night, in the rain... The car isn't soaking wet from me spraying it down, its just from 2 minutes of rain. It was POURING down!
After finishing the wash it was clayed to remove heavy contimination (wiped out a brand new bar), then dried and now you can see the true condition of the paint and the severity of the swirls and scratches...
You can see scuff marks here side-to-side from the application process of the stripes
Heavy swirls from a rotary and wool pad by someone uneducated in proper paint correction
Holograms on the hood from the body shop that painted the hood
More heavy swirls
Taping off the brand new stripes for safety

Correcting the fender
1 step of correction so far...
Scuff marks removed
50/50 shot on rear quarter panel
Heavy oxidation, scratches, swirls, and pitting, bird bomb etchings on rear spoiler
50/50 shot on hood scoop
After multiple IPA wipedowns, a coat of Blackfire Wet Diamond was applied and allowed to cure overnight. The next morning it was removed and finished pics were taken. It was overcast, so no sun pics unfortunately.
Thanks for lookin!

Holy hell.. 
I've been wanting to get some 3M buffing compound and pads for a while now. Just expensive.
He must have been floored when he got it back.. Now tell him to pony up for some springs.
I like this pic a lot.

Thanks BadCompany!
Thanks you! Any good detail spray should be fine, but if you've driven it anywhere, I recommend a full wash if you're gonna touch the paint.
