    2017 Chevrolet Camaro SS - A Miracle Detailing - CQuartz Professional

    2017 Chevrolet Camaro SS - A Miracle Detailing - CQuartz Professional

    For those keeping track...IMHO every paint, pad & polish behaves different.
    This vehicle...
    Rupes 21 MKII 5" backing plate Megs M101 and Carpro 5" flash pad.
    Rupes 21 MKII 5" backing plate Scholls S30 with Carpro gloss pad.
    Originally I tried Megs M110 and Megs 5" Microfiber cutting discs.

    Guess what happened?
    The mf disc started turning red with a 225 micron thickness reading!
    Yes, there is red color/tint in this clear coat. It sure makes you stop!!!
    I switched to Carpro 5" flash pad with M101. Swirls are gone and no red.

    Obligitory 360 walk around in HD 1080p w/audio

    Merlin shot

    Side reflecto shot

    Another hood shot

    IronX wheels

    Trash can and bushes scuff marks. (Before)

    Gotta love the Scangrip lights

    Came out great! Great to point out the red color/tint problem that some folks haven`t encounter yet.

    Man, Merlin, so many hammered Camaro`s have been getting done lately all over! Nicely done, and your vids are very nice. As OP stated above, thanks for giving the heads up on the tinted clear!

    Merlin, I watched your video on this yesterday. It looked really sharp when you got done

    Thank you. That is very kind.

    A really thick PTG reading and red on the MF disc after only two passes!
    Interestingly enough, when I lifted the hood the engine bay was an odd colored orange.
    My guess is that the factory didn`t "red tint clear" the engine bay area.

    Yepper, the red tint in the clear was a step back surprise.

    Thank you. That`s very kind. IMHO It looked even better in person.

    NOTE: I wouldn`t suggest using an MF disc on this red.
    However, the Carpro Flash pad worked great on this paint.
    It corrected the swirls and there was no red transfer on the pad.
