    New member from Shawnee, KS

    Just wanted to introduce myself. I have two cars. 2019 Durango RT and a 1999 Camaro Z28, both black The last few weeks I've been correcting the paint on the Camaro in my off time. I drive for FedEx Freight overnight to Des Moines and back so I work about 12 hours a day.

    I'm definitely a very new beginner at detailing but a very quick learner. I'm working with a Kobalt cordless polisher that I got for Christmas from the wife. And have been using the 3 foam pads that it came with, m110 and m210, and Turtle Wax hybrid solution acrylic ceramic black polish. I've gotten some really impressive results with this combination. I did run into an issue where the Megs m110 and m210 filled in some of the paint cracks on the hood and door. The SS hood came from a different car that was in an accident and had paint cracks from the hood flexing, it is made out of SMC. I did figure out how to clean the cracks with a sonic toothbrush because it didn't scratch the paint after polishing. I've done some light wet sanding here and there on the major scratches and cracks to flatten them out. I do plan on selling the car after fixing it up with the inside and out detailing.

    I am having a hard time trying to upload photos through my phone on the website, the upload is not going through and it's only letting me select one photo. I can upload to an external source that I've used before if I have to

    Welcome to AGO! Looking forward to seeing the cars. If you didn't already plan to, you may want to invest in more pads if you want to do correction on more than 1 or 2 panels at a time.

    Thanks. I also have 2 megs microfiber cutting discs that I forgot to mentioned. I have been cleaning and blowing them out in between panels.

    Welcome!! Love the Camaro, sounds funny to say those 4th gens are 20+ years old now, they still look modern as ever though.

    Ya and I've had this one for 9yrs. Ultimately I wanted the WS6 Trans Am but couldn't find one in my price range so I bought this for $4,500.
