Kudos to the very helpful guidance of the Method documents posted by Glen e (thank you!)
At 150 miles on the car: Dawn wash, hand polish with Blackfire One Step using a few Meguiar's foam pads, and then two coats of Blackfire Crystal Seal about two hours apart applied with Chemical Guys' microfiber applicator brick. Took these photos the next day. The week before this I pulled the wheels off, cleaned them with Sonax Wheel Cleaner Plus, and then applied CarPro HydrO2 lite.

Ok, it's not my 2020 2SS Camaro, but last March right after the lockdown started I decided to detail some of the family cars... (my Camaro is under the car cover...)
This first blue one is my (at the time) 9 year old daily driver, a 2012 Hyundai Sonata (bought Oct 2011) after washing, claying, compounding, polishing, IPA wipedown, Adam's 9h Ceramic Coating and Adam's Ceramic Boost... For a 9 year old car with well over 80,000 miles on it, I was VERY happy with the revitalization!!! This red car is my wife's (at the time) 4 year old daily driver (2016 Hyundai Sonata), did the same process as above... Spent about 2 days per car on this process, but I think the results were well worth it!

 I grew up working in my Dad's Body Shop in Chicago as a kid... I never wanted to do it as a career but I do enjoy working on my own cars from time to time... I was thrilled with the results here, especially after not handling a buffer in about 30 years... I was a little nervous at first to say the least, but it all came back to me pretty quickly... Even the family pitched in and helped!

It was cloudy today so I gave it fresh wash. No recent polish or wax, just a wash.
