    Just finished transforming a severely neglected Gen IV camaro. The car had sat outside for several years, had pine sap/tar, bird droppings and well as years worth of dust, dirt, and water spots. The paint looked good from a mile away on a dark night if you were wearing dark sun glasses. It still has a lot of imperfections etched into the paint that are too deap to remove, but looks fantastic from 50' lol. Started with a wash and clay bar (outside pics were taken after that, wish I had thought ahead to take pics before). Did spot cleaning of the pine sap with some sap zapper product I have. Then hit it with BF Compound and Lake Country CCS 6.5" yellow pad. Followed that with BF Polish and LC orange pad, finished with Midnight Sun Ivory Carnauba.

    Very nice. The clear coat must have been hammered.

    To be honest, I'm surprised it still had clear coat on it. Sitting in the sun in El Paso, TX usually takes it all off in a couple years. Surprised it has lasted 26 years!
