Triple Black SS Vert Shining again!
 

Hi everyone! Just wanted to share a Camaro convertible that I had the pleasure of cleaning up. The customer had contacted me about restoring the gloss and removing the swirls from his black beauty. After speaking with him some more he wanted the engine bay done too. Then the day he dropped it off he decided to have me do a full interior detail as well! LOL. So needless to say after attending the AG cars and coffee on Saturday I had my work cut out for me this weekend. We weren't going for 100% perfection as this is his daily driver and it just doesn't make sense. He even admitted that he car barely wash his own car due to restrictions where he lives.

Here are some before pictures of the outside of the car.
