  • 2010 SS Camaro - Full Paint Correction M105 & M205

    Process involved:

    Wheels were cleaned with Showroom FX's Wheel Cleaner and Various Brushes
    Car was washed with with Chemical Guy's Citrus Wash and Gloss through an Autogeek Foam Gun
    Claymagic Claybar (can be purchased through Showroom FX) was used to remove the contaminants from the paint before polishing
    The car was compounded with Meguiar's M105 via Flex and Orange pad at speed 6
    The car was then finished off with Meguiar's M205 via Flex and Green pad at speed 5
    Everything was sealed using Showroom FX Blazin Maize sealant on Black pad at speed 3
    The car received the final wipedown with Showroom FX's Detail Mist with Showroom FX Gray Plush Microfibers
    The wheels and exhaust tips were lightly cleaned/polished/sealed with Chemical Guy's Metal Polish
    The Wheels/Trim/Rear Valance/Front Grill were dressed with Chemical Guy's VRP Dressing and I used the Showroom FX 4" applicator puck for the tires. It's easily the best tire applicator I have used.
    The Wheel Wells were treated with Chemical Guy's Bare Bones spray
    The entire interior was wiped down and vacuumed as well to clean it up.
    So here are some pictures. I got NEAR perfection out of it from the M105 and M205 combo....





    This picture was to show the wheel wells






    This picture was to show the hard water spotting, rather than the swirls.


    It was cloudy at this point so I was just using my swirlfinder to get them out.


    Sun decided to come out for us, so we backed it out for some pictures


    Taped it up prior to polishing


    The sun started to really cooperate at this point






    This was the door

    So you get the picture...the car was a swirly mess.
    I hit it hard with M105 and then worked M205 for a while to finesse it, and it came out great, made the flake pop, and literally made the entire car look a shade darker. It was awesome.










    I only polished the outside of the exhaust. Inside polishing is a different deal all together.






    This is a reflection shot in bright 2pm sunlight...none of this "in the shade" reflection bs


    Cleaned and dressed the entire grill with Chemical Guys VRP dressing




    I LOVE Bare Bones for quick wheel well dressing

            Super nice looking Camaro there, correction work came out great. Love the color and shine on it, how long did it take to do? and was the cc in the hard side?

              Thanks

              It took 7 hours with my Flex DA for machine work. It would've taken closer to 8.5 probably by porter cable. I'm so happy I bought my FLEX

              The clearcoat wasn't that bad. I had no problems cleaning it right up with M105 and an orange pad on speed 6 of the FLEX. I worked each area of M105 (2x2) for 3 section passes and then M205 I just worked for a while...probably 6-7 section passes (but a larger work area of probably 2.5' x 2.5' until it really finished up nicely.

                  Thanks.

                  M105 and M205 are my go-to polishes. I used to go with Menzerna, but I haven't touched the stuff since I got hooked onto the Meguiar's Polish. M205 is the best polish I have ever used, period. M105 cuts like nobodies business, but M205 is just sooooooo friendly to work with where 105 takes practice to understand just how it cuts and how to minimize dusting.

                  In fact, even when I just do 1 step polishing it is always meguiars that I go to with their FANTASTIC D151 AIO product. I'm doing an XJ Jag and a Volvo S60 this weekend (same owner who wants 1-step process) that are both going to be hit with D151...I can't wait, because I love using that stuff

                            Paint really pops in the sun!

                            Great Results, but did it really need M105? Did you try M205 first.

                              M205 wouldn't even begin to touch this clearcoat.

                              M105 works so well, so fast, and finishes off so nicely I rarely opt to not start with it unless the paint is REALLY sensitive (which is rarely the case).
