2020 Camaro ZL1 Detail | The Worst New Car Paint Ever | P3 Ceramic Coating Final Images! (Vlog 32.3) 

GM: Let's spray uncorrectable soft black paint on our new Camaro Sandro: hold my Ceramic Coating

No other car color looks perfect like a well detailed black.

Absolute legend. That was such a satisfying conclusion to such an unsatisfying initial reveal of that car. The ending song was very fitting, because you indeed did, turn that car around.

Sandro...no lie, you're one of the best detailer in the world !! you take this car from trash paint to amazing paint !

This has to be the best detailing channel on YT. Great camera work, use of music, and technique. After watching you work I would trust you with any car... wish I had the inside knowledge on someone near me.

S, I've been binge watching you videos and I don't think I've seen another U tuber detailer that cares so much about the quality of their work than you. You're work is incredible.

Sandro, that turned out beautiful. Props to you for your patience!

Your films are beautifully filmed, edited, narrated and are educational to boot! They're also the most relaxing educational content I've seen - a great substitute for Zanax! So many dimensions of artistry here it's hard to quantify. Amazing work!

You truly are a master of your craft, mate. You are an inspiration to us.

spent years 18-21 working in a GM paint and body shop back in the day when the majority of what was done was lacquer. 50% percent of my time was buffing.....all we had was wool buffing pads....thick orange past compound....liquid compound.....and we use cornstarch when we needed a really fine polish................when i first seen that camaro, i thought.............OMG LOOK AT ALL THOSE BODY LINES AND SMALL ANGLED SURFACES........for no amount of money could i do what he just did...........no where near the patience anymore..............but that is some great work there brother.............BRAVO.

Someone who really takes pride in his work👍🏾,,, need more like ya....

All I can say is wow that was beautiful you are an underrated channel your editing style and music made the video so satisfying and awesome to watch will definitely come back for more. I would love to be able to detail that way it’s so amazing love the work you do!

Wow, I’m blown away that looks brand new!!! Even better than off the show room floor

Sandro...you sir are genius!! to go from that dumpster fire you started with, to this absolute gem, just...wow...wow, wow, wow!

So I think I already commented on one of the other parts but had to come back here and sing your praises. I just bought this same car in the same color (2018 metallic black, 15k miles) and i bought the car remotely. The car showed up with a significant amount of swirl marks and scratches, maybe not quite as bad as this one but similar. I went back to this video series and watched it again. I ordered some of the recommended products and went to work. I am a semi experienced detailer, but nowhere near your skill level but it still turned out amazing! THANK YOU!!!

Your criminally underrated man

Bro you need to go world wide w this . You are a master @ your craft

Sandro, mate you're an absolute Jedi at your trade, bet this job nearly took you to the dark side.

The difference from start (Video 1) to finish is chalk and cheese, and almost puts a tear to my eye, how beautiful it is after the treatment you did to it. It is a testament to your care, attention to detail, and unending patience in tending to the horrendous original state of this car's paint. Wow.... just wow!!!

This is incredible, watched the whole series and very very impressed with your work. I’m in the process of finding a zl1 and wish I lived in Australia to have you correct and coat it.

your honesty is what the car scene needs... to many customers getting told that it last 10 year or even lifetime...

Your work and your knowledge is stunning. It is a treat every time there is a new vid. it is just so incredibly genereous of you to share all of this with us.

Dislikes from dealership or from jelaous Camaro owners who never thought their car can look such amazing and shiny))) Great result Sandro!

Maestro: As always, this job is outstanding!!!. Greetings from Monterrey, México

Soo True!! did a 2020 Camaro ZL1 and a Corvette 2020 and its all the same soft paint !!! I Feel your pain!!!!

Amazing work Sandro! That car looks like it just got a fresh paint job.

This channel is very underrated... excellent work on the paint dude. 👍👍👌

Absolutely amazing results. Bravo sir. As a detailer myself in las vegas NV I can say I have done several zl1 camaros and none of them had paint that poor or soft. This is most likely due to the car being made in Australia and possibly not the same paint or painting process Gm uses in the USA. Also I have measured thicker paint on the zl1 model compared to the SS I believe there is a difference possibly in the clear coat used on zl1 models vs the SS. I haven't done any lower model camaros so don't those measurements to compare.

Fantastic work, Sandro.👍 The depth of gloss in the finished shots is amazing, it really accentuates the beautiful lines and shape of the car. 😎 Thanks for taking the time to make and upload this series of videos, I have thoughly enjoyed them. It is very interesting to hear your thought process that leads you on, to deciding your course of action.👍

What an awesome job, Sandro. You are truly a master at your trade. The Camaro ZL1 is my dream car and will someday buy one, but definitely not a black one. But your tips and techniques will truly help me with mine. I've learned a lot from your videos and plan to, one day, get myself trained in polishing, or at least get better at it.

One of my first times watching, so I couldn't help but notice that intro is fireee

Your devotion to your creft is spectacular ! It was relaxing to watch your 3 vids. Thank you.

That song with the beautiful paint. That’s the quality content I needed. I have to buy a shirt from you now

After watching a number of detailing videos on RU-vid, i must say your work is truly amazing. So glad we have such a great detailer such as yourself in Aus, keep up the good work!

I owned a 2018 ZL1, in basically the exact same setup... and this paint was exactly as the video shows you... it was a royal PITA across the board... but when it was done up pretty, man the car was beautiful to look at....

Very nicely done! Would be nice to see a before and after at the end

Amazing work Sandro and thank you for being so honest throughout this process, we detailers are not perfect and only do the best we can. I can understand the emotional journey of a 50 hour machine polish session though the worst I've had to do took 30 hours and it was a HSV W427 that had been waterless washed poorly it's whole life .. luckily Holdens paint isn't troublesome. I always enjoy watching your videos.

Perfection from Sandro as always. What helped me the most as an aspiring detailer was your advice on doing a coating " first section wipe of light pressure wipe within the coated area second wipe off extend to blend in" out of all the videos I have watched you are the first person I have heard say that. Now I have the confidence to try a ceramic coating Thank u Sandro

Watching you work is like meditation for the soul. Amazing work!!

Nothing ceramic spray coating can replace this job e these professional products. It's fantastic, and your job is wonderful, I love your masterpieces everything

Always a pleasure to watch & learn from you. Love the final reveal. Music fits perfectly. 👌🏻

Hey Sandro, thanks for that video series. Really good watch and great end result. Bizarrely enough, I've recently seen a very similar problem - huge paint thickness readings but damn near impossible to work on ultra soft paint. In not saying its the exact same issue as here, but it is possible! It was a brand new Ferarri F8 Tributo. Paint depth readings all over the car in the 200 to 300+ range. It took major investigation, including a technician from Ferarri in Italy flying over, to figure out exactly what the hell was going on with it. He did a lot of back tracking of the cars build process and it turns out that, after the final clear coat stage in the factory, it had been failed by quality control because there was an issue with the shipment of clear coat they had been sent in that it wasn't bonding properly to the paint. So, apparently the clear was sanded off all over the car and it went back through the paint cycle again. The technician reckons thats what explains the huge thickness readings and the really difficult and touchy finish - its basically had two layers of base paint and then three layers of clear on top. Needless to say Ferarri took the car back to Maranello and replaced it with a brand new one. Which is good, because a sneeze in the wrong direction would have made the car look like it had been washed with a sponge dipped in a puddle!

A very impressive turnaround. This has been a great three parter. Thanks for the videos, and fantastic work as always.

Rescued another black beast . So satisfying to watch as always . Great work keep it up

Subscribed since the first part and so far I’m not disappointed by your work

I have no words, just sit there and admire, perfect job as always.👌👌👌

Oh wait did he go to Chicago auto pros because that's what they did to me. They said they paint corrected then ceramic coated my zl1 with swirls in it. Then to top it off went through my trunk and just left all my stuff floating about. They never coated my rims and definitely didn't do under my spoiler. I went to them because they were the most expensive and boy did I get screwed.

What an awesome set of videos; I really appreciate it as someone who daily drives a black car. Thanks!

Absolutely beautiful mate, it's a credit to you on your skill level and your attention to detail. Can't wait for the next one.

Now, that is how it should look when driven off the showroom floor. As always, great work Sandro.

So it has soft flat black paint with some panels with metallic flake in it? C'mon GM 🙄😒 Excellent work as always 🔥

Great job Sandro. You are a true pro. The car looked dripping wet out in the sun.

Damn it doesn’t look like the same car. Great job bro you should be really proud of how it turned out.

Well Done ... Stunning Work as Usual .. I recently had a brand new Jeep trackhawk brand new with very similar issues...my PTG showed every panel repainted

The question i have is "Will" you ever do another 2020 Camaro Keep up the great content number 1 Australian detailer 👌

The whole series was awesome, great job you did

Proof! You can polish a turd! Great job!

Looks amazing 🤩 like always love to see how you change car look 😇

Dayumm!!!!! That looks ridonkulous!!! 😆 i have to say i cannot stand seeing the red or orange side markers on camaros or corvettes. You can get the blacked out markers for under $150 us. Seeing your vids takes me back to that feeling after spending a good 3 hrs detailing my old camaro. I fortunately had some great detailers work on mine. I used ceramic pro premier. Such great products. Great work my friend!!! 💪😎

It’s mad that you can get a buzz just from looking at a shiny car. Well done Sandro

Beautiful work Sandro. Delivered the way it should have been originally, through your deft touch. 👏👍

Turned out amazing , another masterpiece! Glass and wet look are crazy, I can’t believe that’s the same car from the first video

looks awesome as always bro and honestly the most informative detailing youtube channel

Holden were in constant arguments with GM about the paint quality and door gap on the VE/VF. They won in the end and I’m so glad they did. VE was nominated for worldwide Car of the Year. Seems like quality plummeted hard after Holden shut down. Listen to Sandro and preserve your Holdens - they’ll never come round again.

wow, fantastic I will try the blue coarse wool pad from rupes trying to fix some of the panels, but I'm not sure I can find the red pad you had...

No words Sandro. I'm just admiring.

looks amazing! Nice work, I can see I definitely don't have the patience for this :-) haha

Great job! I believe you had a few nightmares with this job! I had one similar, and was a challenge to just don't freaking out with that. I recognize you had a difficult work and I know how stressful it is. Compliments from this side!

So satisfying to watch, thank you

You're a true artist sir, thank you for sharing your work

I know people who think a ceramic coating protects against stone chips. I have it because of the boost in gloss and the easier washing. Of course hand washing only. If you don't want to hand wash your car, don't get a ceramic coating.

Great series! Excellent work!

YOU INSPIRE ME! That’s all😌 Have a great rest of the week mate! #TheBestDetailerPeriod

You always make it look so easy Sandro . I've only coated a few cars and hated it every time, very hard to get right for amateur mugs like me. Bet you'll be getting some repeat business on this one :)

A client of mine got it’s Chevrolet truck buffed at a shop and the truck came out dark gray instead of black. He had no more clearcoat on it. So, I put a top shelf ceramic coating and it gain back the black of the paint. That shop destroyed a 350Z too, the client came to see me but at the end he needed a paint job, there was no clearcoat left.

I just found your channel yesterday and have been waiting for this 3rd video! It looks incredible man.

Mate your a legend, its that simple, i really cant find anyone out there that would have the products and the expertise to to such a soft pint and the massive amount of swirls noted on the pint, most detailers would not have the products range to tackle such a soft paint let alone polish it to near perfection its that simple well done Sandro keep up the great work, just one question, you did a Camaro SS as well, why was that one so different, after all its just added extra features ie: ZL1 to a SS, so the paint should be the same right? Or maybe the first Built dates had used different paint and then Chevy changed suppliers or paint systems etc?

Another top class video Sandro thanks for all the tips brother

Amazing Sandro, i switched to Nova Evo ceramic coating cause of you and its amazing on my soft paint.

Sandro you deserve a medal for that one. I am betting its the same shit clear that I have on my 2018 Chevy Bolt EV. If I sneeze 5 feet away it puts a swirl in it.. I can't stand it, I am slowly losing my mind. I had to get black because it was the only one available at the time. I so hate black paint..

Outstanding mate! 😎🤙🏽

Incredible result, well done.

Mate you've done an awesome job on that Camaro

Awesome work as usual Sergio! Looks dripping and amazing! 🤘🔥

Outstanding Sandro.

Insane Results Sandro~!!! that thing was Trashed to the point of no Return ~! Congrats, hard project to complete and filming at the same time! ;-)

As always great video and great content. Results are always top notch. Soft paint is a pain to work on and coat. I need to find how to get this light into the states. I would not mind having it along with the Gyeon Prism light.

Have a Red 2010 Camaro SS. Its littered with swirls and scratches. It was a lease vehicle before I owned it and it was in the hands of dealers before I came in and they do not know how to to clean cars. I got the car with 37k miles. Which for a 2010 isn't very bad but goodness it hurts to look at the car when I clean it specially when the sun shines on it

You did a wonderful job on that ZL1. Beautiful car😁

Bro, you are the best detailer I ever seen, Greetings from houston tx

Amazing work. I love all the 3 parts on this video car looks amazing well done

its GM, I'm not surprised on the quality of paint. Beautiful ceramic coating job tho.

Bloody immense effort!

Stunning. Well done Sandro. The yanks would be frothing over this

This is the first time I’ve seen the application technique of blotting the coating in a number of places, then spreading it out. Do you use this technique on all of your coatings? Makes sense so that the area gets equal treatment. Another great video by a true master. Thanks Sandro and keep up the great work!

Wow! Amazing work.

Looks awesome and you really did a spectacular job on this beautiful vehicle 💎✊

it looks amazing, glad youtube recommended this to me. Though I'm not in Australia, I'm curious how much this stage of detailing would cost?

As always, Great Work

You’re honesty very skilled
