    [SIZE=medium]I worked on this Camaro about 4 years ago. At that time I only preformed a light polish and paint protection. This time around the work was a lot more extensive. The 15 year old lacquer paint had water spots minor swirls and was very hazy. The wheels had water spots and tarnish.[/SIZE]

    [SIZE=medium]The first step in the correction process was M105 and purple foamed wool. With just one step I saw huge improvement with the paints clarity. [/SIZE]

    [SIZE=medium]The rest of the correction was done with optimum hyper polish with white pads. Last step was Sonax nano polish 3/6 with black pads. The car was then washed to remove all polishing dust. No LSP had been applied at this point. [/SIZE]

    [SIZE=medium]The next step was to get the wheels back into shape. For that I use Meguiar’s Heavy, Medium, and fine cut metal polish. [/SIZE]

    [SIZE=medium]Lastly I applied Optimum opti bond to the tires. For the paint I used Chemical Guys blacklight and 2 coats of DoDo juice blue velvet.[/SIZE]

    Impressive turn around. I have a question about the flames on the front end. How was it applied to the paint? Did you polish over the flames as well? Thanks in advance.
