Before ShotsI didn't get a lot or very good camera shots to show the before condition but here's a few....
This shot is just to frame up the below shot which I cropped out of this shot. The thing to remember is the entire finish, both horizontal panels and vertical panels were completely trashed with scratches.

This is the passenger side front corner of the hood...
http://www.autogeekonline.net/gallery/data/1516/2012CamaroFin018.jpg
Dull, hazy, filled with swirls and scratches and the clearcoat was no where near clear.

And this is off a BRAND NEW CAR?
If you watched the Live Broadcast, you saw me clay most, not all but most of JUST the hood. Keep in mind this Camaro has only 2000 miles on it since purchased new. Look at all the brown crud that came off the hood using Blackfire Detailing Clay.
Where has this car been since rolling out of the assembly plant?
Anyone want to guess what the brown stuff is?
