68' Camaro
I've spent two days working on this nice Camaro.
It belongs to a friend, and I still need to go back and finish some little detail next weekend.
This car was painted about 6 months ago. The paint had some minor flaws on the finish. A lot of holograms from the rotary buffer and the wool pad that needed to be buffed out.
Also, the trunk lid was wetsanded methodically; 800, 1000, 1500, 2000 and 3000 grit by the owner while I worked around the rest of the car.
It has a 464 motor. Yes, I've got pics
Saturday was a nice sunny day, so I was able to take some before pics to show the holograms and then later we pulled the car out to check the work.
My process was:
Claybar Zaino Z7
Zaino Z6 used as lube and as a QD
Ultimate Compound by Meguiars using a Cyan Foam Pad from Lake Country Hydro-Tech to remove sanding scratches, and then followed up with Menzerna SIP and the Tangerine Foam Pad, from Lake Country Hydro-Tech Foam Pads to gloss the paint and remove whatever little defect that may have been left...
I of course used my Flex XC 3401 VRG Dual Action Orbital Polisher.
Once I was done, proceeded to lay a nice coat of Blackfire Wet Diamond Paint Sealant with a black LC finishing pad and my Porter Cable.
Before:
Wetsanding the trunk lid...
Afters: This was after I buffed out the holograms...
Afters: Sealed with Blackfire Sealant:

The Camaro is missing the spoiler. It was being wetsanded and it will be installed next week. I just had to leave early today due to some personal commitments, plus everybody wanted to leave early...
I'll be back to buff it and give it a once over; hopefully take some under the sun shots weather permitting...

Badass Camaro! Great work as well, it looks real good. Looking at the pictures made me miss my brother's '68.
