    Finally starting back up for the summer with my friend and got a nicely kept 2001 Chevy Camaro to kick it off right!

    This is a 2nd owner LOW mileage car <30k miles. It has been looked after for the 10yrs it has been around but overall the car was in decent shape and the black hid it’s imperfections pretty well until it got under the lights, then it screamed "I needed lots of love."

    After a long 24man hours the outcome is a 9.5/10, there were a couple of deep scratches we could not get out (time to consider adding wet sanding to the arsenal!), besides those few items we were beyond pleased with the results, car looks soaking wet when there isn’t a drop of water to be seen :nod:

    Sorry no pics in the day light now it was LATE when we finished up :( ! Owner stayed with us the WHOLE time and lent a hand at the end. Thanks for sticking with us Taylor! Hopefully we will have some outdoor pics at the end of the week from a local F-body dyno day.

    Enough of that on to the detail, Oh and I hope you enjoy!!!
