2017 Camaro SS

[Sizzle Chest]

2017 Chevrolet Camaro SS
3LZ, Automatic
18,000 miles


I had corrected and ceramic protected this vehicle almost exactly one year ago. Since then it has seen a trip to the body shop for some minor damage that was done to it at the dealership…
This little trip inflicted major damage to the previous work I had done to this black beauty. It was FULLY covered in swirls, scratches, sanding marks, marring, and the front end where the work was done was completely covered in holograms, and all sorts of nastiness. It was sad to see it in this poor shape.

In comes the ‘doc’ at Autodermatology for a little dermabrasion to rectify this hack work from the body shop.

The vehicle received a 2BW, clay, decon, 3 stage polish, and a ceramic coating.


2BW with Adam’s shampoo and micro-chenille mitt.
Decon’d with McKee’s37 iron remover.
Clayed with Medium Griot’s mitt.
Wheel cleaner, Adam’s.
Tire cleaner, Adam’s.
Wheels were sealed with Hydro2.
Tire dressing, HD tire.
Machines: Flex 3401, Rupes MkII21, Rupes 3” and iBrid.
Paint readings compliments of DeFelsko.
Compound/Polish-Blackfire.
Finishing polish/prep for coating-BEEDS Prime.
LSP, 1 coat BEEDS HD, 1 coat BEEDS ELX.
Windows, Blackfire glass cleaner.
Vacuum, Metro.
Misc. MF towels.
Misc. MF and foam pads were used.
Interior: McKee’s37 Fast Interior.
Engine bay-Adam’s APC, and Blackfire tire/trim.

The vehicle came out very well. I had some paint thickness challenges in some areas and could not ‘go any further’ as I would have liked.
End result, my client is thrilled and she is very happy to have her Camaro looking proper again!

Thanks for looking!

Looks great as always, hard to belief a nearly new car and you already had to be so careful with not removing to much paint. Paint thickness gauge and the knowledge of how to use it is an invaluable tool for you professionals.

Awesome work and write up and a great save!

It where really trashed by the body shop. Since we know how great work you do that was not normal wear and tear of a year. The front fender panel was really bad. Those dot marks where they sanding marks? Seems like they didn`t take any of those out just finish polished them up a bit.

Understand that your customer was happy for her a car as it looks as it should after an autodermatololgy treatment!

Thanks for shareing your work!

Epic save !!!!
