Default Treated the Camaro to a little lovin'

After the accident and having the new windshield installed, I figured I would do a detail on her. 7 hours worth of wet sanding and compounding, then another 4 hours to put three coats of wax on it and detail it.

For 27 year old paint, it buffed out pretty good :up:

Now you need to get one of those little dent pullers to fix those tiny dents and the car will be perfect.....

Good job man....

It's far from perfect. There's tons of surface imperfections, it needs paint/body work. However I just figured I would do the best that I could with this paint, and it came out pretty good!

You should DEFINITELY meet me at Tower Shops this Friday. There's always a nice row of new Mopars, your Charger would fit right in...

Three coats of wax? You wasted your time as you can not layer wax. Next time apply a paint sealant, wait 12 hours for it to cure, then add a coat of wax:
