2019 Camaro 2SS paint correction and ceramic coating
 
2019 Camaro 2SS paint correction and ceramic coating

A forum member contacted me about paint correction and ceramic coating on his black 2019 2SS! This was the first 2019 that I have gotten my hands on. I really like the flow tie bow tie. I didn’t think I liked it in pictures, but it looks great IRL.

The car had the usual swirls, scratches and etchings.

A foam bath and clay bar treatment removed the bonded contaminants. The wheels were extremely dirty, but I was able to get them back to new condition since the car was so new, the brake dust was not baked on yet. I forgot to take pictures of the wheels but they looked awesome.

I polished out the swirls, scratches and all but 2 small etchings that need wet sanding. I don’t feel that they are obvious enough to start wet sanding a 2019 car. Hopefully now that it is ceramic coated, there won’t be any more etchings!

I applied 2 coats of CarPro CQuartz to the paint. I used Chemical Guys HydroSlick Hyper Wax on the windshield and Gyeon WetCoat on the wheels.

What is the typical (reasonable) charge for this type of service? I'm in SoCal and taking delivery very soon, would like to get Ceramic coating applied...

No that's super high dollar! It's almost 5X what I pay for Meguiar's D151 and 3X Meguiar's D166.

I just checked my supplier and my cost is $88/gallon. That's twice what I pay for 1 step polish. I'm sure it's good. If I could afford it I would use Wolfgang Uber, but it just doesn't make sense. I'm in a small market on the low end of prices for detailing. Meguiar's D166 ($45) is awesome at half the price. Meguiar's D151 ($28) is very good but it dusts in hot weather.

Sonax Perfect Finish my cost is $250/gallon LOL!

Very Nice
 
Finish looks great.

I'm scared to get quotes in So Cal, we should start a fund to fly Kirk out for the weekend, he can do a bunch of cars, make some $ and get some surf while he's here. . .

Count me in on that, taking delivery of my 2020 2SS in the next week or so and would love to have this done! :thumbup:
