Dylan06SS Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Got a chance to take on Chase's daily driver today... as it is a daily I was expecting some serious dirt and grime... I wasn't disappointed. Chase witnessed the carnage first hand... the stream of black running out of my garage and into the street as I took on the wheels/tires/fenders... the "OH SHIT" Moment when he realized his seats were tan, not brown... but all worth it in the end. A very in depth "HOW TO" is coming... I just don't have the energy left to type it up tonight. EXTERIOR PROCESS - Wheel wheels/tires/rims cleaned with strong mix simple green & assorted brushes Foam gun'd the outside with Optimum Car Wash and let dwell for 5 minutes, rinsed w/o agitation Re-foamed the outside and let dwell for 2 minutes Washed one panel at a time w/ sheep skin mit + rinse bucket + grit guard Misted wet paint with Adams QD spray dryed with white WW MF drying towels Clayed w/ Adams med. grade clay + QD spray 1 pass of DER Tuff Stuff on white durafoam pad to completely clean surface 1 pass of my own personal mixture of Adams S&HR + Adams Revive Polish on green durafoam pad 1 pass of DER Shiney Stuff by hand All removed with Adams Premium Super-plush microfiber polishing cloths Trim treated with Adams VRT Wheels sealed w/ REJEX Wheel wells dressed with Adams Invisible Undercarriage Spray INTERIOR PROCESS - Leather cleaned with woolite concentrate + water mixture (some spots required SG mixture) Carpets cleaned with upholstery brush and Blue Magic carpet aerosol Adams VRT or In&Out Spray on dash, panels, plastic Leather conditioned with Adams Leather Conditioner Lets start with some before shots: OH THE HUMANITY!! :insane: Proof that washing alone will not remove all the contaminants from your paint. YOU NEED A CLAY BAR!! MORE PICS COMING.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan06SS Posted September 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 (edited) All masked off and ready to start polishing After a pass with the DER Tuff Stuff on the white pad After (on the left) a pass with Adams S&HR + Revive Polish mixture on green durafoam pad next to unpolished surface... hows that for an improvment? After a little more time working the polish. DER Shiney really is my favorite on flake paint jobs... look at that flake pop!! I wasn't too familiar with the history of the vehicle so I didn't go crazy cleaning the engine bay, just some steam and a light brush + simple green got it pretty clean... not spotless, but clean. Now on to the interior... side by side... before and after... I really don't need to say much here STILL MORE PICS COMING....

Got to go for a spin and take some pics, I love Camaro's and this car reminds me of why I want another one. We had a blast smokin' some guy in a WRX STI... wasn't even close. The proud owner of this blue beauty taking pics also: Remember those before shots of the wheels?? Still more comin....
