Oakes - Detailed: 2010 Camaro SS - New vehicle Prep

OakesDetail · 06-29-09, 01:59

A full new vehicle detail of a 2010 Camaro SS, this vehicle was purchased 4 days ago and has been with me for the last 2 days. Unfortunately it suffered some defects and such from the time between the factory and the dealership, it is also guilty for having really soft clear coat making defects even easier.

Car belongs to a good friend of mine, who's Mustang I did a week ago. He ordered this car a year ago, just arrived this week. Can't wait till we go out some night this weekend in it!

Process:
Full wash, Clay bar, rewash
Menzerna Intensive Polish - only on flat panels (hood, trunk and roof) - Orange pad
Menzerna 203 - Follow up of flat panels and the rest of the car.
Optimum Poli-Seal - cured for 15 hours.
Dodo Juice Supernatural - Pure Caranauba wax - Bare hands
Rewashed and spray waxed.

Before Photos

These picture were taken after the wash, clay bar and rewash of the vehicle. Pictures show the defects that look like hard water stains, scuffs and some smudging.

Notice the round water spots and the dull look to the paint

Before/After Defect on Fender

Before/After Hood

After of Interior - Carpets treated with Xyilon carpet protector (basically wax for carpets)

dealer.

Well done! Sweet Car! Has anyone done a RS?

Thanks guys! The condition wouldn't have been much better had the dealer tried to "detail" it unfortunately, it was better off coming like it was straight to me.

From what I understand about the car industry, often cars sit outside for a while before delivery. And if you are on this forum, you know that dealers straight up suck in paint care. This is the norm, no?

Yeah, I have worked for Aston Martin/Jaguar/LandRover and Ford, I ordered my own car and in the 2 weeks it took to deliver the car looked like it had been driven through a Michigan winter...in May lol.
