Good 'ol hard GM clear coat.

Welcome to my world. at least 75% of my clients the last 6 years or so have been 4th Gen Fbody's (Camaro and Firebird) or Corvettes.

If you have to attack it with a DA, Menzerna IP and FP can be your friends.

more often than not, a rotary is what I end up using.

I have known about Menzerna for years...until the last few weeks, never tried it. Just call me a fan. That stuff is pretty dam* good.

I will be picking up more of the line soon.

I remember working on a black metallic BMW 3 Series... that was fun.

HOWEVER,
Since some of you may remember the extremely crazy method for doing it (although it turned out beautifully), I wont post my method-- I will never do it again because it was VERY lucky and VERY risky... (okay, it involved wool pad and a Wallyworld D/A and Setp 1 of the DC system...)

I found BMW's to be the most rewarding to work on that I have done so far-- partially because everybody in my neighborhood thought I had a new car, but also because a detailed BMW looks SOOOOOO amazingly sharp... Beautiful German Design....

That black metallic paint helps things too... I *love* that color. It's stunning when it's all cleaned up...
