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
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,

Tape it off and avoid a lifetime of ugly...




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.
Notice how they are both holding the tools and they have the cord over their shoulders...



Here's the "Hood Shot", this is with Mother's California Gold Pure Carnauba Paste Wax





Here's the hood shot for the black 1967 with Blackfire Midnight Sun Ivory Carnauba Paste Wax



Here's two cool Camaro's ready to cruise to the next car show and take home first place trophies...




More pics later and Yancy will have the video from this clinic on YouTube today...

What is witht he commercials?!!?

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.
