2014 camaro ss
It's in pretty rough shape for only 20k miles. The current owner just bought it and is lookjng to have it saved.

Little scuff

Stickers should never go on paint. This will be removed.

Generally dirty

Wheels are bleeding out due to an iron cut product not sold here.

Getting the iron oxide out of the paint as well

This is why I'll never own black wheels. Owner decided not to have me address this as he plans to either have the wheels repainted or get new wheels

Typical swirls and scratches


Fixed





Wrapped up the final bits yesterday. Part of the final bits was addressing the vinyl. It was in pretty sad shape. Lots of water spots/etching and some kind of weird stains/marking on the rear spoiler vinyl.
Before




Cleaned and treated. Came out flawless.

No more water spots. Perfectly smooth.

No more weird marks on the back



Car done and outside.

NO more sticker residue











Some fun reflection shots right after I cleaned off the sealant residue




22 hours in 2 days is rough.

Nice work! Car really came out nicely. It was pretty rough for sure! Those wheels are terrible...he needs to get them taken care of so they can match the level of the rest of the car!

Good job!

Thanks for sharing.

For me for vinyl I use a hand polish that is pretty much just a cleaner wax with a no cut pad( sealant/wax/glaze pad) on speed 1-2 on my flex. Keep it moving as you don't want to generate any heat and you're really not looking for any cut out of it. Basically not quite as fast arm speed like you're jeweling, but not quite as slow as if you're polishing. Kind of in between. You're also not looking to have the polish flash completely as it could become hard to remove, soooooo right to the point it's getting close to flashing you stop. For this polish it turns from a blue color to almost a vaseline like consistency with just a hint of blue left. That's how I know I've reached the sweet spot. It's a trick I've developed over the years. It takes some futzing with and with any vinyl treatment take it with caution as you can mess it up quick. HAH!

I did do a test on them and they actually could polish out to 90% correction. Which isn't bad giving the level of pain those things have seen. hah
