Detail addict-Platnium Addict, 2009 Camaro

We hope everyone's car is looking so great in the WINTER! Roll up your sleeves before the weather gets really bad, it will protect your car for awhile!

2009 Chevy Camaro

This car is only about 1.5 months old. The dealership did a very hacked job on it and filled EVERYTHING. It looked nice, but once we stripped everything, it was halogram EVERYWHERE. Although it's new, it has some very sever RDS and minor swirl marks. The entire process took about 20 hours or so...

Sorry, it was very cloudy so no good pictures of "before"at outdoor that we can share with everyone... , but u can still the swirl marks in some of the pictures.

















We start with the wheels and tires using P21 Wheel Cleaner and let it soak a bit


Off with a hand brush to get the spokes


Then with ACE PowerStick to get to the inside of the wheels


Recommended Products


Pressure wash off everything


Including the wheel wells


Then we start with the body to get the 'big dirt' off the car...


Hit the tires again as we rinse the body


Then off to our Camspray Foamer




You can never clean the wheels/tires enough!


Then off to two buckets hand wash with fresh MF


Recommended Products


Then glide the water off of the car


Rinse down the wheels of course


Look at this! Brand new car! This is from just the hood too!


Air dry all the gaps and surfaces as much as we can


After air dry, we use Waffle MF to blot dry


Look closely, lot of RDS! We then took a paint meter to check the thickness and it was about ~145-185 micron all around. Plenty of paints on this car for correction!


and swirl marks


Still trying to perfect close up shots... But yeah, lot of swirls... Here are bunch of 50/50





Some indoor finishing shots






The sun finally came out the next day for us to take some outside pictures!












Best wishes!
