Camaro Z28 Detail Finished this one up this past weekend. Guy came to me wanting to fix his hood but it had severe clear coat failure. He got it painted and waited two months and brought it back to me since the shop didn't do a great job buffing it. (severe marring, wet sanding marks, and swirling) He also wanted to clear up the head lights before spending more money on some new ones. Turned out great and about 98% corrected. The hood was the worst out of all of it but it turned out alright.

-Clayed w/blue clay magic.
-Wheels/Tires/Lug cylinders/Inner barrels/Wheel wells hit with APC+ 10:1 and scrubbed with various brushes.

I use MF towels that I only use for that in tight spaces. Othe wise, I took the Lake Country 'hockey puck" and cut it up into small pieces and apply with that. Same for the tires except I leave it whole.
