Default Camaro SS Detail

This car was fairly clean for the most part as the owner takes exceptional care of his toys. Some of the 'after' pics didn't come out or weren't even able to be taken because the flake in the paint made the glare from the sungun or actual sun too much to show anything good. Here are a few I did take though. I also completed the owners Lexus IS350 but I was not able to take any pics of that vehicle due to lighting.

Wash with Meg soap.
Spot clayed using clay magic: doors, front fascia, rear bumper/spoiler, and front and rear lower fenders (worst spots). These spots had hard caked on tar/rubber right behind the tires.
Corrected with Menzerna SIP along with Meguiars M105 / LCC orange pad.
Followed by Meguiars M205 / LCC black pad.
Sealed with SFX blazin / LCC blue pad.
Tires and trim dressed with SFX dressing.
Fender wells cleaned with APC then dressed with Meguiars natural finish.
Glass cleaned with Stoners crystal clear / microfiber.

Before: Could barely see any swirling or marring.


After: (very hard to get a good shot with out just showing the light)


Before:


After:
