2000 Camaro Z28 correction *white*

Here is a 2000 Z28 I did for a local club member. It had very heavy swirls and a lot RIDS, especially on the hood, roof, and spoiler which really needed wetsanding and heavy compounding. However, with just 2 stages of buffing, was able to get about 90% overall swirl removal. Could have gotten more out but customer just had me do 2 stages. I spend most of my time on black, red, and blue cars; so it was nice to give a white car a nice shine. Most of the white cars brought to me are just in for a basic detail (no paint correction). I was really happy with the amount of gloss I got out of white Pics don't do it justice really.

*note: some pics you can see 4-5 gray dots against the white paint...they are specs of dirt on the sensor in my camera. i'm getting it fixed this week though*


Process:

-Presoak with Foam Gun (with Dawn and Megs APC)
-Wheels with Megs APC 3:1 with Swissvax Wheel brush
-Clay with Megs Aggressive clay with Megs Last Touch as lube
-Presoak again (same mix)
Body:
-Menzerna SIP on Lake Country PFW
-Menzerna 106FA on Lake Country white 5.5"
Roof:
Menz SIP on LC PFW x2
Menz 106FA on LC white
Menz FPII on LC black

-Polishing followed by IPA wipedown x2
-Zaino AIO
-Zaino Z2pro
-Zaino Z6
-Adams VRT on tires
-Mothers Chrome polish on exhaust tips

Interior:
-vacuumed
-wipedown with Megs Interior Detail spray and Megs APC 3:1
-Swissvax detail brush
-Stoner's Invisible glass windows

Very nice work, Jeff! Was the roof painted or was it plastic?

Thanks! Its painted black. It was horrific too. Even after 4 passes, there was still a lot on the roof. But the owner was more than happy with it, so thats cool. Technically I was only supposed to do 2 steps, but decided the roof warranted 4.


I got something special coming this week thats right up your alley btw.
