My reply back was everyone thought the same thing about the Camaro we buffed out last week and yet as beautiful as the Camaro looked when it arrived there was still room for improvement as you can see by the before pictures I posted.
In the past when I've been around Glen's truck I never had a chance to properly inspect the paint in the right lighting conditions.
While Glen was here we put the Brinkmann Swirl Finder Light on the paint and even though it has a good coat of wax on it you could easily see swirls throughout the entire finish instilled by what looks like to me as holograms from a wool pad on a rotary buffer.
Sure it looks great and has that show car look in the picture above but not only are there swirls throughout the entire finish but it also needs to be clayed. After I took Glen home I came back and wiped a section of the paint down with a spray detailer and then felt the paint with my clean bare hand and it's far from being smooth and glassy feeling so the first thing we're going to do tomorrow is clay the paint and then we'll see what it's going to take to remove the swirls.
Well said Mike. I really never thought the Camaros paint would get to level you and the guys have got it to. I really think some guys are missing the point. It's not only about polishing and waxing. The experience of getting this kind of training and information from pros who really know what they are doing is priceless. Get the car polished and waxed was great but learning from the pros at Auto Geek is where the real value is ! Just my 2 cents

Perhaps you can send me a mirror or such and I'll buff it out and send it back!
