Default Detail: TT 1998 Camaro SS

Well, finally got around to being able to finish Mcpherson’s car. We had a few setbacks coupled along with bad weather but we finally got a break this weekend.

Cleaning:
- Washed the entire car including door jams twice using two bucket method, grit guards & Meguiars hyper wash.
- Entire car was clay barred using clay magic (blue) including the windows to remove over spray (using the red aggressive clay from Meguiars).
- APC 4:1 used on wheel wells and inner wheel barrels.
- APC 10:1 used on dash, interior pieces, and seats.
- Interior vacuumed.
- Windows treated with Stoners Crystal Clear.

Correction/Buffing:
- Meguiars M105 Ultra Cut Compound using Orange LCC pad.
- Meguiars M205 Ultra Finishing Polish using Black LCC pad.
- Show Room FX Blazin Maize using LCC blue jewelling pad.
- Show Room FX Carnauba Crystal Black Wax using LCC blue jewelling pad.
- Some panels required the combination of M105 using the Purple Hybrid foamed wool LCC pad.

Dressing:
- Tires and trim dressed with Showroom FX white pearl dressing.
- Wheel wells dressed with Meguiars Natural Finish (matte)


Getting started. You can see the thick layer of dust that is covering the entire car:






Pretty much the entire car looked like this:


SS wing removed to clean and correct underneath it along with the perches:






Deck lid corrected:


Another shot:


Deck lid good to go. Wing ready for reinstall:








Dust, it's inevitable with black:


The weather was overcast yesterday so I was only able to get shots with my sun gun. 98% of the car is swirl free when checked on the previous day:


SS wing:






441 LSX twin 70 mm turbos:
































RAW HP:


Total times spent: Roughly 18 hours and it needed every minute of it. This is normally how the car stays but since being down for two years, it got a little abused. It usually gets washed/waxed every quarter.

Thanks for checking it out.

I haven't gotten a chance to see pictures of the car, just heard about it.
Jeremy's car sure is gorgeous!
You did an excellent job on cleaning it up as well.
Can't wait to hear what kind of power it makes.

That car is insane. I remember seeing it at RPM. Good work as always. What would you charge to do a TBSS?

Clean car and that's some great work there bring back the shine. I see it still has a/c and p/s, looks like well thought out kit with some nice craftmanship. Doesn't look haxored at all.

Awesome work BBC Jeremy's car has always looked great. I just hope he keeps it out of a wall now with all that extra power.
