Default Started detailing my SS tonight...

I am going to be at shows the next 2 weekends with my Camaro, so tonight I got in to detailing it.

Tonight I washed it, touched up the cleaning under the car, polished it with my Porter Cable, used 3M rubbing compound-orange LC pad, Tropi-Care TC-8 swirl cutter-orange LC pad & then added 2 coats of TC-3-blue LC pad.

I am going to finish the outside Saturday morning with 1 more top coat, clean the wheels & tires & touch up the interior & glass.

I'll have a full set of pics on Saturday from the all Camaro show that I am going to.


It was dark when I was ready for pics, so only took a few.

After washing & rinsing...


A couple reflection shots, after buffing...






Roof...

It is a sub on the west side of Des Moines, right in the middle of the state, 2 hours from Omaha.

the SS is looking really,really good.

are you topping the TC-3 with anything?

are you using any kind of a QD as a finishing touch at the show?

Right now it is just the TC-3, I ran out of time. I am using the Tropi-Care detail spray on it.

Thanks!

I understand that .,.,


if you have some, try some FK 425 on the paint, once you get it to the show .. I think you will really like the look on that color ..
