    Camaro RS in Red Jewel w/ OptiCoat

    Hello:

    I was recently contacted by this customer to do a full correction + OptiCoat for a local car show. Upon inspection, I figured 2 steps compound + polish would do the trick to remove the water marks and underlying marring, swirls, rids, etc.. Needless to say, after doing a test spot, that was not the case.

    Process:
    Pre-rinse
    Wash w/ 2 Bucket Method
    Tar / Iron Decontamination
    Clay
    Rinse
    Waffle Weave Dry
    Dual Compound
    Medium Cut Polish
    Fine Cut Polish
    Mineral Spirit Wipedown
    LSP

    Products:
    CG Citrus Wash & Gloss
    Carpro Wash Mitt for upper Panels
    Sheepskin Mitt for lower panels
    Tarminator
    IronX
    PoorBoys Bug Squash
    NanoSkin Medium Grade Towel
    DI Waffle Weave Towel
    Multiple Wheel Brushes
    Opti-Bond Tire Gel
    Adam`s Metal Polish
    5.5" Microfiber Cutting Pad + Megs 105
    5.5" Microfiber Cutting Pad + FG400
    5.5" LC Orange + 205
    5.5" LC White + Menz SF4500
    Mineral Spirit Wipe Down
    LSP: OptiCoat Pro

    Well, let`s see where I started....


    Definitely a "50 footer"...


    Closer Look- Notice heavy water spotting/etching, RIDS and deep Swirls


    Not so bad here


    Not terrible on the trunk lid either


    Still some pretty obvious swirls and R.I.D.S


    Noticeable holograms and swirls here on the roof- what you can`t see here is the heavy waterspotting


    Same story here- Owner says dealership didn`t polish this when he had work done... I see differently




    Notice the density of water spots along the edge of the hood in this picture- this was the case on entire car


    Water spot damage shown much clearer here...


    Absolutely no clarity!

    Now,the transformation




















    OptiCoated these as well.




    Thanks for looking!

    imo the reflectiveness of the paint is a excellent way to show how well the detail came out. two big thumbs up there, it looks like a mirror.
