2010 Camaro SS - Black and swirled!

[Matt S.]

This is my friend's car. He's a cop, so I spit on it. OK that was a corny joke.

Anyways, he picked this car up last June and it's been in serious need of a detail. Lots of swirls, and what pissed me off the most was all the wax in the edges of his stripes. I ended up using Menzerna Super Intensive Polish via LC Tangerine Hydro-Techs, and they left such a nice finish that I was able to go straight to PO85RD with a gray finishing pad.

The worst part about this detail was the weather. Storms were looming all day and finally let out as I was finishing up. My Menzerna SIP was acting up due to the humidity, leaving gummy chunks of polish and dust everywhere, so I ended up re-washing the car in the pouring rain. The car also didn't fit all the way in the garage, so I had to seal the back half of the car while the front got poured on, then back it all the way in, dry the front and finish. What a nightmare!

I spent a good bit of time with Menzerna Top Inspection and a microfiber getting all the wax out of the edges....






Test spot time!












Broke out the trusty little PC7424 with 4" pads for the bumper. I was working PO85RD in this picture.














Leave me alone, I'm polishing!

OK, now the second worst part of this detail. I couldn't get any "after" shots. I was stuck in the tiny one car garage, and it was dark and pouring outside. These were the only shots I managed to take.










BUT, you know I wouldn't do that to you guys. My friend was nice enough to take some pics of the car a few days later.
