2010 SS Camaro Detail - Full Paint Correction I know some of you guys show up to the West Houston Muscle weekly Sat Evening meets, so you might have seen Josh out there last Sat after I detailed his Imperial Blue SS.
Process involved:
Wheels were cleaned with Showroom FX's Wheel Cleaner and Various Brushes
Car was washed with with Chemical Guy's Citrus Wash and Gloss through an Autogeek Foam Gun
Claymagic Claybar was used to remove the contaminants from the paint before polishing
The car was compounded with Meguiar's M105 via Flex and Orange pad at speed 6
The car was then finished off with Meguiar's M205 via Flex and Green pad at speed 5
Everything was sealed using Showroom FX Blazin Maize sealant on Black pad at speed 3
The car received the final wipedown with Showroom FX's Detail Mist with Showroom FX Gray Plush Microfibers
The wheels and exhaust tips were lightly cleaned/polished/sealed with Chemical Guy's Metal Polish
The Wheels/Trim/Rear Valance/Front Grill were dressed with Chemical Guy's VRP Dressing and I used the Showroom FX 4" applicator puck for the tires. It's easily the best tire applicator I have used.
The Wheel Wells were treated with Chemical Guy's Bare Bones spray
The entire interior was wiped down and vacuumed as well to clean it up.
So here are some pictures. I got NEAR perfection out of it from the M105 and M205 combo....
This picture was to show the wheel wells
This picture was to show the hard water spotting, rather than the swirls.
It was cloudy at this point so I was just using my swirlfinder to get them out.
Sun decided to come out for us, so we backed it out for some pictures
Taped it up prior to polishing
The sun started to really cooperate at this point
This was the door

So you get the picture...the car was a swirly mess.
I hit it hard with M105 and then worked M205 for a while to finesse it, and it came out great, made the flake pop, and literally made the entire car look a shade darker. It was awesome.
I only polished the outside of the exhaust. Inside polishing is a different deal all together.
This is a reflection shot in bright 2pm sunlight...none of this "in the shade" reflection bs
Cleaned and dressed the entire grill with Chemical Guys VRP dressing
I LOVE Bare Bones for quick wheel well dressing

Sweet, I see you mention Showroom FX's has your LSP products, I am not familar with them, who makes those?
(PS: you a member over @ www.autopia.org?)
(PS: you a member over @ www.autopia.org?)
Showroom FX used to be Tropicare. The owners name is Steve and he is a fantastic detailer who started his own line of products and they're all quality. The detail spray they offer is only rivaled by FK425 as far as I'm concerned...it's good stuff.
Ha ha, thanks...I literally told him that if I ever saw his car at an automatic wash I would stop my car and verbally berate him.
