2001 Navy Blue Metalic SS Camaro....

[35TH LE]

I figure Ive been here a while... Ill go ahead and share some details Ive done in the past couple months. Ill start with this one.



This beauty came to me with a few minor paint defects.... swirls all over, few light scratches, and mild white paint overspray.



Process:

-Megs GC wash

-Pinnacle Poly Clay with Megs QD lube

-PC7424 with Orange E2K pad and Megs #80

-PC with White E2K pad and Megs #26

-Glass with Stoners and MF

-Tires with Megs Gold Class Gel

-Tips and wheels with Flitz polish

-Megs QD before pics



Heres some examples of the swirls:

After doing a couple test spots I decided on what combo of pad and polish to use. Luckily it took a mild cutting pad and relatively mild polish too. Heres a couple shots after fixing the test spots, I used both flourecent (tubes) and Xenon (hand held) lighting to highlight the nice fixed paint.

Couple garage shots after removing the #26.

And some final shots. This car is so gorgeous it ALMOST made me want to sell my 35th LE SS to find a NBM (Navy Blue Metalic) SS.

Just beautiful! :drool:



Glad to hear the paint wasn't too hard for you to polish out, I did a similar one (metallic purple) and the paint was like a rock!
