2014 Chevrolet Camaro SS Detailing & Paint Correction

2014 Chevrolet Camaro SS Car Detailing

We started with a meticulous exterior wash, giving extra attention to the wheels, wheel wells, exhaust tips, and door jambs. Once the vehicle was thoroughly cleaned, we performed a complete decontamination process, beginning with iron removal and followed by the removal of tar and other bonded contaminants using specialized chemical cleaners across all painted surfaces.

The aging paint protection film on the front end was carefully removed before addressing the condition of the paintwork. The vehicle exhibited swirl marks and light defects throughout most panels, so we carried out a comprehensive two-stage paint correction. This process eliminated the majority of scratches and swirls, restoring exceptional clarity and transforming the tired finish into a deep, rich, wet-looking black once again.

To preserve the freshly corrected finish, the entire vehicle was wrapped in paint protection film.

The interior was then thoroughly cleaned and prepared. All leather surfaces were carefully cleaned and treated with a high-quality leather conditioner to restore their appearance and suppleness. To complete the protection package, the vehicle received a full application of CarPro CQUARTZ Professional ceramic coating.

Finally, we completed all finishing touches, details, and final inspections using premium detailing products and proven techniques before presenting the vehicle to the client in the Auto Obsessed Clean Room.

What was done

Exterior Car Wash

Whether a vehicle is driven everyday or just parked in a garage, dirt and dust contaminants will fall onto the surface. This layer of dirt dulls the appearance of the vehicle. If you contact or rub dirty paint, it can mar or become scratched. Not desirable! We thoroughly washed this vehicle to ensure the contaminants were safely removed. Auto Obsessed detailers use automotive shampoos that are specifically formulated to encapsulate and lift the dirt off the vehicle without marring the paint and glass. Our exterior wash service includes the exterior body, door jambs, engine bay, exhaust, wheels, and wheel wells / fender liners.

Decontamination Car Wash

An initial car wash will not be able to remove contaminants that are bonded or embedded in the paint. With this decontamination stage, iron particles (which appear as small brown rust spots), tar splatter, tree sap, water spots, paint overspray, and other contaminants were removed using a combination of chemicals and or natural/synthetic detailing clay bar. After a decontamination car wash, the paint is ready to be corrected with a polishing stage, or finished with protective film, ceramic coatings, carnauba waxes, or sealants.

Paint Correction

The skilled art of paint correction polishing, sometimes known as “buffing”, is the detailing process that makes the most dramatic change in how a car or truck looks. Blemishes and damage on the paint make a vehicle’s paintwork appear dull, flawed, and aged. Paint correction removes scratches, swirl marks, water spots, etchings, fading, and oxidation. The damaged surface layer is polished away to make the paint smooth and perfectly reflective again. After polishing, this paint was in perfect condition. At this point, the vehicle is ready for paint protection film to be installed, or for a ceramic coating, sealant, or carnauba wax to be applied

Interior Detailing

Our interior detailing services are customizable. Client requests can range from a simple low-level interior detail to a complete restorative interior service. Auto Obsessed detailers thoroughly go through all areas of the interior to clean and detail. The result is that the vehicle’s fabrics, leather, plastic and metal trim, controls, gauges, glass, carpet, and luggage areas all look as close to new as possible. Look at these interior photos. This clean, fresh interior now looks like a very nice place to spend time. When we do an interior detail for new cars, the interior is brought up to the level that a new car should look when it’s delivered.

Leather Cleaning and Protection

Leather seats, arm rests, and steering wheels get dirty with skin oils and grime. Dirty leather looks shiny, hard, and worn. It ages the interior before its time! Leather upholstery is a luxury option. We cleaned and conditioned this leather to restore a soft, luxurious feeling in this cabin. Note how the hard-looking shine on the leather is gone. The leather has been brought back to its original matte look. This leather looks luxurious again! The cleaning and conditioning improved its look. The protection from the conditioning will make the leather last longer, and make it easier to clean in the future.

Ceramic Coating

Ceramic coatings repel dirt and water so the vehicle is easier to clean. We applied a top-tier ceramic coating to give this paint a glossy, protective layer. It looks beautiful and will last for years. Not all ceramic coatings are the same, and not all services are the same when applying ceramic coating. Auto Obsessed is one the very few accredited installers in Canada for top-rated and exclusive coating brands.

Paint Protection Film

Paint protection film, sometimes called “3M film” or simply “PPF”, provides physical protection against rock chips, scratches, sand abrasion, and the elements of everyday driving. We installed a premium paint protection film onto this vehicle. Note its exceptional gloss. This PPF has self-healing properties, it’s non-yellowing, and will provide long protection to the owner.

Finishing Touches

After we have completed the detailing services that were requested, it is time for inspection in the Auto Obsessed Clean Room. The highly lit room with the white walls, floor, and ceiling allows us to inspect under the most unforgiving conditions so we can make any final touches needed. By doing the finishing touches we are confirming your vehicle meets our standards but exceeds yours through completing a full vehicle walkaround, checking all the areas worked on. The finishing touches adds yet another level of detail to your vehicle from dressing the tires to making your vehicle windows crystal clear or ensuring your vehicle’s shine and protection.
