    Still didn't answer the question asked: "How much do you charge for something like that?"

    I have a 94 T/A that could use a little polishing of its own.

    Good job on the detail! Lights look great man.
    Yes it is. Very handy to have to check your work aside from Halogens.

    And thank you.

    What you're seeing is the infamous B pillar bubble on F-bodies.

    GM used glue to hold that panel on that cause the material to "gas out" through the paint causing this. My T/A has this very faintly (it's a little worse the more sun the car sees)

    If you look at some of the other "b pillar" pics, you will notice them much more.

    Look at the pic "b pillar trim polished" You can see one of the bubbles a little more. To fix this problem, the pillar would need to be ripped off, the panel scraped clean of the old glue and use new glue along with a new pillar and repaint. It's sad GM skimped on this and they offered warranty for a while but some folks (myself included) didn't know about the recall.

    Thanks for pointing that out and glad I could clear that up.

    started a topic Camaro clean up

    Camaro clean up

    Finished this one up this past weekend. Guy came to me wanting to fix his hood but it had severe clear coat failure. He got it painted and waited two months and brought it back to me since the shop didn't do a great job buffing it. (severe marring, wet sanding marks, and swirling) He also wanted to clear up the head lights before spending more money on some new ones. Turned out great and about 98% corrected. The hood was the worst out of all of it but it turned out alright.

    -Washed with Meguiars Hyper wash.
    -Clayed w/blue clay magic.
    -Wheels/Tires/Lug cylinders/Inner barrels/Wheel wells hit with APC+ 10:1 and scrubbed with various brushes.
    -Tires/trim dressed with ShowroomFX White Pearl.
    -Paint was corrected with D300 and a 5" MF cutting disk followed by D301 on a 5" MF Polishing disk.
    -B Pillar trim was done with a 3" MF cutting disk and D300 followed by M205 on a 3" polishing disk followed by D301 on a 3" polishing disk.
    - Head lights were wet sanded using 2500 grit, then 3000 grit, followed with M105 on a 3" cutting disk > M205 on a 3" polishing disk > waxed using D301 on a 3" polishing disk.
    -Glass treated with Stoners crystal clear
