1968 Camaro-Paint Correction, Tampa

**broker99** · 02-08-2014, 07:52 PM

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.

Nice job. I have always been curious on those wheel polishes from meguiar`s. Looks like you achieved very good results with them.

thank you. I was impressed with the new metal polishs from Meguiar`s. The heavy cut ripped right through the crud on those wheels.

Thank you. The only problem with the door handles being shaved is you have to make sure the keys are in your pocket before getting out of the car with the windows up.

Awesome car and even better work. It`s always nice to see a set of polished aluminum wheels come back to life, and even cooler when those wheels are mounted on a stunning vehicle.

Great job pulling the haze out of the finish and bringing the blue back to life
