Paul's Camaro just arrived, here's a shot of it in the studio and from here many of you might think there's nothing wrong and in fact it looks gorgeous!

But here's the true condition and why the car has been brought to Autogeek's Show Car Garage...

Holograms from a Rotary Buffer
If you look closely you can see the holograms where the overhead florescent light is shining on the trunk lid, I'll try to get a better picture of the holograms after we move the car to a different position.

The entire finish looks like this...

Ouch! Kind of hurts your eyes if you're into car detailing...

No splatter under the fresh air grill :xyxthumbs:
Classic cars have fresh air grills for fresh air intake and most of the time if you LOOK down past the grill you'll see wetsanding splatter and compounding and polishing splatter and once it's in there it's dang near impossible to remove. I'm happy to say that whoever did the sanding and buffing the first time did a good job of covering this up...

See my article on this here,

Shurhold DA Polisher
At the last Thursday night clinic we let everyone test out the Makita BO6040 Forced Rotation Dual Action Polisher, tonight we're going to let everyone test out the Shurhold DA Polisher.

This polisher has a GFI built-in to the cord which makes it a safe option for anyone doing any dampsanding...

Here's some pictures from last night, more to come later today...


Don Eddy joined us and that's Dave behind him working on the driver's door. This was the first time that they've machine polished using DA Polishers. Notice how they are both holding the tools and they have the cord over their shoulders...

This is Trista and Matt, this was the first time either of them had used a DA Polisher to remove swirls and create a show car finish.

The service that we are using is free and the commercials come with it. Hopefully in the future we will be able to do away with the ads.

Just popped in a few minutes ago. Is the '67 Camaro a factory paint job?

I closed out the video by accident, and clicked on the link again, it brought up a different video. Then clicked on it again, and it was different cars. Did it again, same results. Neither of these vehicles are in the video. Currently there is a gold camaro being shown. Am I on the right video? HELP YANCY!!

Both of the camaros have been repainted.

Okay, kind of thought so with the black one, but the other I wasn't sure on at all.
