How New is Brand-New? 2010 Camaro off the dealer lot Restored by AutoLavish

[Marc@AutoLavish]

lookin good! its amazing how bad "new paint" actually looks from the factory.

Agreed. To be fair though; not everyone out there is a car enthusiast or cares for their car in this way: different strokes for different folks. Its still disappointing to purchase a "brand new car" that isn't a little nicer though.

great work guys!
Nick

Thank you kind sir

great work.

Thanks for taking a look

Once again - nice job! That OEM 'finish' was terrible for sure.

Luckily it wasn't too hard to bring back to truly "new" condition

Looks awesome!
Reminded me of this story for some reason (let's hope history doesn't repeat itself here)

Horrible. Such a shame... hopefully the owner won't have those type of problems driving a Camaro in Metro-Detroit though.

Paint is perfect now! Gotta love the Dealer Installed Swirl Option...

I see the S2K in the background....looking good! Also, the Suzuki Boulevard in the garage is nice looking.

The option we're all looking forward to
The S is doing ok. Got some plans for her and need to get to some open track days soon. Jacob's bike is pretty friggin big, and the pearl white paint on it looks pretty sick. Hopefully we can post up some more pics of that thing

Wow, nice work! Always amazes me the improvement you guys get! Then again, that was starting from pretty bad.

Ty - we always strive to do all we can for our clients.

How much does a job like that cost?

Depends on time spent. Because we work for a flat rate hourly price, it'll depend on the client's budget, how far they want the car taken, and what they want us to focus on. The majority of our jobs lately have been in the 7-8 hour range, though some only being 6 hours and others being 10. We have a 4 hour minimum, and charge $80/hr with no additional charges for product use or anything else (unless you would like a coat of Zymol Royale put on your paint).

We have some real special stuff coming soon featuring a car we spent 23 hours on so stay tuned!

Great work as always! I've seen some of your other work on Autopia and it's made me want to learn more and experiment with detailing myself (on a test car, of course).

After seeing this, I'm definitely considering looking you guys up to do a new car prep on my 2011 GT.

On top of that, do you guys suggest asking for the dealer to leave all protective plastic on the car?

Thanks for compliments. Autopia is a great source of information and is the biggest detailing site in the US, so it can be very helpful. As anywhere - be careful as there's always bound to be some less than accurate information.
We'd love the opportunity to earn your business if given a chance. Hopefully with the new car coming in soon, it won't suffer from all the same issues as it wouldn't be subject to the "wash goons" attacking your car for a couple months as it sat on the lot.
I'd recommend not allowing the dealer to touch it aside from doing their mandatory checks and prep. Leaving the plastic on the car, not washing it, not wiping it down, not doing anything outside of pulling it off the truck and parking it.

Motown discount?

Motown discount?

We throw in extras for motown members - so basically it works out to be that
