Extensive correction on black Camaro

[white gecko]

This customer dropped his car off to me along with his friend's Trans Am, both for extensive swirl removal. The camaro had just received a new set of hockey stripes so special care was needed during the course of the detail. The rest of the car had numerous problem areas that needed to be sorted out. There was heavy oxidation on the rear spoiler and ground effects, severe swirls throughout, heavy rotary buffer trails on doors, and numerous holograms on the hood. All issues were sorted out over the course of the 2-day detail.



















It was a busy week and due to time constraints I had to wash it at night, in the rain... The car isn't soaking wet from me spraying it down, its just from 2 minutes of rain. It was POURING down!

After finishing the wash it was clayed to remove heavy contimination (wiped out a brand new bar), then dried and now you can see the true condition of the paint and the severity of the swirls and scratches...

You can see scuff marks here side-to-side from the application process of the stripes

After multiple IPA wipedowns, a coat of Blackfire Wet Diamond was applied and allowed to cure overnight. The next morning it was removed and finished pics were taken. It was overcast, so no sun pics unfortunately.

Thanks for lookin!

You get some seriously hacked up finishes, and again you come out the victor! Excellent correction work!

Thank you Scott!

Thanks David! Yeah I do tend to get (and like) the challenging ones. I have a soft spot in my heart for F-bodies and unfortunately they rarely get the kind of care that the more expensive rides do. But its fun nonetheless!

Wow that car was rough! I bet the owner was ecstatic about the turnaround you performed on it. Great job.
