When you lose money but it’s ok
This 2011 Camaro only has 30k miles but it was pretty beat up. Customers budget wasn’t where I wanted to be with work needed, so I set out to do a simple 1 pass polish and top with Zymol’s Atomic Graphene Shield. BUT then I messed up and did a test hit with a yellow wool pad on the hood, and knew that what this black Chevy needed. Sure I could have used clear cut to really get after it, and maybe I’ll tell myself that for a while, but she just picked it up and couldn’t stop dropping F bombs! She’s owned it since new and didn’t think it could look this good. 10 hours well worth it.
Fully decontaminated with Iron X and a clay bar, machine Griots 21 with Rupes yellow wool pad with Car Pros Fixer, then a QUICK polish with a white soft foam pad with reflect.
Starting from the beginning

This really made doing the interior easy!

If it works right?

This is why I couldn’t just do a one pass polish.

”coating” going on, really very easy product to use.

Re: When you lose money but it’s ok
•From the pictures:
-the Camaro looks great!
•Along the same lines:
-I’d have to see an array of photos of this
“F-bomb dropping” female to see if losing
money on this job would be worth it, or not.
