    2000 Chevy Camaro SS - 2 Step Paint Correction by Mr. Sparkle Detailing - Long Island

    Client stopped by the shop a month ago looking to do something special for his son graduating college. Junior drives a 2000 Chevy Camaro SS which was mechanically in great shape, but pretty swirled up. I did some test spots on the spoiler to demonstrate what a 1 or 2 step correction was capable of (yes I did the rest of the spoiler for him so it looked uniform).

    After thinking things over, a few weeks later I got the call and we booked a 2 step correction. Goal was 90% correction or better

    Getting started....

    The ever popular covered in foam photo




    Decon with CarPro TRIX and Speedy Prep Towel (med)

    Vehicle was dried, and much tape applied. All the plastic trim, some edges, and of course the pinstriping running the length on both sides. Had to use the fine line tape on those.







    Prepare yourselves. Inspection under LED lighting.









    Did some test spots and decided I was going to do what we`ll call a 2 1/2 step

    Makita rotary + LC Purple Foamed Wool + Megs M100

    residue left on the surface followed my

    Rupes or Flex + Megs MF pads + M100
    Rupes or Flex + LC Tangerine + M205


    Basically cutting the surface twice with m100 just refining things a bit on that second pass with the less aggressive pad / tool

    Some looks at the test spots (shooting for 90% or better - there were some leftovers that resisted all of the above polishing)








    Fender before



    Fender After




    Here I am polishing paint in the most glamorous fashion. You can also see how the pinstriping really broke up the panels and forced me to use 3in pads in a lot of areas (PC was used with the 3in pads)




    There was also a black painted area running along the roof

    before





    after





    Car was pretty dusty after all that. So it was washed again, then protected with Blackfire Wet Diamond sealant






    The weird hood reflections with swirls removed





    Couple more for good measure










    Long Island`s top choice for paint correction...

    Thanks! yeah it was pretty soft actually. Dropped a few F bombs after wiping m100 from the surface caused some light marring

    Good work! Wonder why his SS logo is upside down on the rear?
