1968 Camaro-Paint Correction, Tampa

[imported_broker99]

I worked on this Camaro about 4 years ago.` At that time I only preformed a light polish and paint protection.` This time around the work was a lot more extensive.` The 15 year old lacquer paint had water spots minor swirls and was very hazy.` The wheels had water spots and tarnish.

The first step in the correction process was M105 and purple foamed wool.` With just one step I saw huge improvement with the paints clarity.`

The rest of the correction was done with optimum hyper polish with white pads.` Last step was Sonax nano polish 3/6 with black pads.` The car was then washed to remove all polishing dust.` No LSP had been applied at this point.

The next step was to get the wheels back into shape.` For that I use Meguiar’s Heavy, Medium, and fine cut metal polish.`

Lastly I applied Optimum opti bond to the tires.` For the paint I used Chemical Guys blacklight and 2 coats of DoDo juice blue velvet.

Thank you.` The car is pretty much a garage queen so the interior and the engine did not need alot of work.` I dont think I even took any pictures of the inside or the engine.` I might have some from the last time I worked on the car.
