`02 Camaro ... Merry Christmas Dad

[calhoun1]

Well, since I had some time off as I am going between two commands (Navy) I was able to come home to Texas. Well, I decided to treat my dad`s car (and my dad) to a 2 step polish.



This car is a Daily Driver with 106K miles on it. My dad and I together spent 12 hours, so around 24 man-hours are in this.



Used PC7424



Cleaned Wheels with Armor All Wheel Cleaner (Full bottle gone, was laying around in the garage, and worked well.)

Wash - WG Auto Bath

Clay - Megs

SIP - Orange 5.5" LCS

106FA - White 5.5" CCS

WG DGPS - Blue 5.5" LCS

12 hour cure then a coat of WG Fuzion



Rims with a bit of Chrome Polish(think it was mothers)

Followed with Meg`s Cleaner Wax for protection.

Tires with Pinnacle Black Onyx Tire Gel



Cleaned the engine compartment with Simple Green and elbow grease.

Dressed with Mothers Back to Black.



Enjoy the great before and afters.

Great before and afters :goodjob

[MrRumble]

That`s AWESOME of you. Doesn`t even look like the same Camaro in the afters, great job!

[RaskyR1]

Great work and very nice of you to do for the old man! :goodjob







Looks like lots of highway miles, no?

[calhoun1]

Yes and no. He commutes ~50 miles daily. Some of it 2 lane road, about 10 miles city.



But he keeps it clean, so that helps a lot.

[RaskyR1]

Looked like it had lots of pitting and rock chips...kinda looks like the front of my car! :D

[calhoun1]

Yup, lots of pitting and rock chips. Not comfortable enough to wet sand, and it is a daily driver, so not too worried.

[vtec92civic]

wow great job man! Camaro was a little hammered paint wise. Looks like you polished the inside of the wheel barrels as well! Hope your dad liked it. He probably though you bought him a new car LoL.

[Barry Theal]

nice work man. car looks great. thats some great attention to detail.

[bigltc]

Father & son projects are great!

[gav'spurplez]

sweet,

i especially like the wheel wells / suspension and inside of the wheels......

[tssdetailing]

i`m with Gav! The suspension cleaning was a HUGE upgrade. Love thy Fbody!

[calhoun1]

Thanks for the compliments. My dad for the last 2 days I was there wouldn`t stop thanking me. He will probably be placing an order for some detailing stuff in the near future.
