19k mile 2002 Camaro SS
Had the opportunity to get my hands on this one owner 19k mile 2002 Camaro SS. This car brings me back to the times that I owned a twin to this car pretty much. The interior still smelled new and the engine bay besides being a little dusty still has the factory chalk markings etc.
The paint on the other hand definitely needs some love. It has been stored indoors to my knowledge but I there are a few dings and chips that will need proper repair in the future.
The plan was to perform a nice 2 step correction and apply IGL Poly 1 year coating.
Prep/Wash
Foamed with Hyper wash, 2BM, nanoskin handy towel
Wheels/Tires
Mckees foaming wheel cleaner gel, LATA, hyper dressing, chrome polished with Mckees RV metal polish
Engine bay
Foamed with AMMO Frothe, lightly dressed with hyper dressing
Correction
Rupes 21/Adams swirl killer mini. Rupes NEW BLUE COARSE WOOL pads, M100.
Finish polishing- Rupes 21, Rupes yellow pad, Hyper polish. Then I did a light follow up with my PC7424, Rupes white pad and Menzerna SF3800 to knock out the last tiny bit of micro marring.
Let me talk about the blue Rupes wool pads. This is the 3rd black vehicle I have done with them and these things rock. Cut is great, they blow out nicely. My only issue is when used with the 21mm the edge of the foam get torn up pretty good. Thinking they may need a little denser foam. Kinda the same issue a lot of people have with microfiber pads.
LSP- IGL Poly 1 year coating
Interior- wiped down with Mckees fast interior detailer.

Nice job Justin. That paint was hammered for only 19K miles. Not to many low mileage F-Bodies around.

Thanks brother. It definitely was trashed and there's still a few areas unfortunately that need repainting. Rear bumper, taillight panel and rocker all have some deeper scratches.

Great work. Still love that Gen SS. How on earth does a car get that beat up with 19k on the clock.
