Oakes - Detailed: 2010 Camaro SS - New vehicle Prep

A full new vehicle detail of a 2010 Camaro SS, this vehicle was purchased 4 days ago and has been with me for the last 2 days. Unfortunately it suffered some defects and such from the time between the factory and the dealership, it is also guilty for having really soft clear coat (much like the C6 Corvettes) making defects even easier.

Car belongs to a good friend of mine, who ordered this car a year ago, just arrived this week. Can't wait till we go out some night this weekend in it!

Process:
Full wash, Clay bar, rewash
Menzerna Intensive Polish - only on flat panels (hood, trunk and roof) - Orange pad
Menzerna 203 - Follow up of flat panels and the rest of the car.
Optimum Poli-Seal - cured for 15 hours.
Dodo Juice Supernatural - Pure Caranauba wax - Bare hands
Rewashed and spray waxed.

Before Photos









These picture were taken after the wash, clay bar and rewash of the vehicle. Pictures show the defects that look like hard water stains, scuffs and some smudging.







Notice the round water spots and the dull look to the paint




Before/After Defect on Fender




Before/After Hood




After of Interior - Carpets treated with Xyilon carpet protector (basically wax for carpets)




Beading Photos after third wash before spray wax

Dayum...
Solid work.

You guys who know what you're doing, like what we've seen here in these pics, make a car look like a totally new car all over again.

Thank you! Takes a lot of work and a lot of experience that not many can provide, there are already some great detailers on this forum, like Phil@DD.

Awesome job. Did the dealership pay for the detail? I can't imagine taking delivery of a special order car in that condition.

Thank you, they did not. They were simply asked not to touch the car and it was driven to me the day after he brought it home.
