2015 Chevrolet Camaro SS (First Paid Detail)

The Camaro turned out amazing!! Great job. Sure you may have quoted a little low, but earning money to learn and realize what you can do differently next time is time well spent. Yes, black is a tedious color to mess with, but in my opinion, it's the best color to learn on and test new products with. I know I'd be over the moon if I owned the car and it looked like that when you were done, fantastic job!!

Thank you everyone for the kind words! It really means a lot!!! The hard work was definitely worth it in the end. I would like to get a full detail in a month this year once it warms up. We'll see though. Thanks again everybody!!

You did a great job. Isn't FG400 a little aggressive for a new car though? Did it have a lot of swirling?

I wouldn't say a lot but they were present. It was my first time using FG400. There was a visable diffrence between just using the Prima Amigo and FG400 paired with the Amigo.

You really did a great job on that Camaro. I agree with you, you weren't paid enough. When I did my first detail with a PC it took a couple of days. When I bought a flex it was so much faster. Do yourself a favor and buy a Rupes or flex or even a GG6. If you're on a budget a Harbor Freight DA works well also for much, much less.

I wouldn't say it's too aggressive, depends on the finish. Typically, GM black is pretty hard and tends to require a heavier cut compound. And FG400 can finish down with some of todays better polishes, so I wouldnt push it to the back due to the year of the vehicle.

Man I cant wait to get my blacked out Mustang to look that good. You knocked it out of the park, looks great! I'm still just trying to learn the lingo and products.

Yeah black paint can be a handful the first time...live and learn - Great job!

$300 plus tip is not too bad for a great learning experience. The car looks great.

Awesome job!! That it is a fine-looking automobile! I want a 1LE SS so bad,but I've heard they ride kinda rough. My back and butt aren't as young as they used to be.
