ts|s Detailing: 2013 Camaro 1LE, Dealership Rescue Mission

[tssdetailing]

The owner of this vehicle was very unimpressed with the dealership`s $1800 prep package. Yes, I said $1800. The package included dealer installed swirls and the sloppiest leather conditioning you`ll ever see. The owner argued the price out of the purchase agreement before bringing the car home. Fast forward 300 miles and ts|s Detailing was called in to rescue the new muscle car. The process included:



degreasing foam wash

two-step paint correction

Opticoating, glaze and wax

interior was degreased of the shoddy conditioner application then properly dressed

carpets were vacuumed and treated with fabric guard

total time involved: 13 hours over two days

It was starting to snow, so I couldn`t do any outside shots, Poorboys Blackhole Glaze topped with Blackfire Midnight Sun wax. Opticoated the rims and hood.

That "prep work" was a travesty.



Nice work!

Nice work Jaison! Love the pictures! Dealerships amaze me that for that price they would even allow the new owner to see the car in "PREPED" condition! Good move removing the "Weenie" badge!
