    More American Muscle Corrected and Coated - 2011 Camaro SS

    This week's project was a repeat customer. We had worked on this vehicle 2 years ago when it needed an extensive correction (click here to see the previous write up). The owner wanted to have the car cleaned up again and to have a more durable layer of protection applied. Upon initial inspection we discovered severe overspray on the hood and right fender which required a considerable amount of cutting to remove. The rest of the car received a one step correction process to remove lighter swirls and enhance the gloss. The car was then topped with Americana Car Care's Americoat acrylic paint coating for durable protection and gloss.


    Process
    Tires: Omni Clean
    Wheels: Sonax Full Effect with variety of brushes and tools
    Wash: ONR
    Decontaminate: Medium Speedy Prep Towel with Nanoskin Glide as Lube
    Cutting: Meguiar's M101 on Meguiar's MF Cutting Pads via Rupes LHR21ES & LHR75E
    Polishing: Meguiar's M205 on White LC Polishing Pads via Rupes LHR21ES & LHR75E
    Surface Prep: CarPro Eraser
    Paint Protection: Americoat (cured with IR lamps)
    Wheel Sealant: CarPro HydrO2
    Tire Dressing: CarPro PERL
    Exhaust Tips: CG Metal Wax
    Glass: Meguiar's D120





    The wheels & tires were cleaned and sealed. The paint was then completely washed and decontaminated








    Some serious correction was needed on the hood to remove some severe overspray along with swirls and scratches.








    Here you can see how dull the finish looked due to the overspray






    After compounding we were beginning to create a much clearer reflection. This would later be further refined with a finishing polish







    Spent 3 hours on the hood alone, and it finally looked as good as it should.






    Matt working on polishing the driver side... check out that gloss






    Trunk before correction






    Trunk after compounding






    The sides received a one step correction process to remove the vast majority of the swirls and improve clarity and gloss






    Americoat being applied to the paint






    After the coating was cured with our infrared lamp, we were able to get some great pics.








    Great reflections... the red paint really popped.
