Sleep was overrated

So I did this 2014 Camaro last year in the spring before he went to work at a camp out in California. He messaged me a few weeks ago saying that he was bringing it back and that it was trashed and that he wanted me to detail inside and out. Well trashed wasn`t quite a strong enough word for how it looked. sand all over on the inside, and what I found out from a few on here was shotgun/artillery fungus baked and dried on all over the whole car. So now some pics.

So the first wash of many that it was to have showed that the two coats of Klasse sorta held up but was definitely going.

So sorry for the lengthy thread but after spending a bit over 32 hours on the out side I really don`t have a lot to show. It was fun to do for sure but I`m also glad that it is finally over. Yes there are still marks and srathes and what not, but this has been a daily driver that was bought used and will be still. The interior was done as well but no photos as I just wanted to be done.
 
He is planning on selling it to pay off college, buy a ring, and have some $ hopefully after to go towards a honeymoon.

It did a little kinda like wet sanding, yet finer than 3k grit is how I would best describe it but mike told me bout it in my thread "two what the heck"

Reminder to self. Don`t try this at home. It`s above my pay grade.

Not to bad if you have ever yet sanded this wasn`t that much different.
I know i did it a little different than Mike said to do it but i had so much over the whole car.

Great work, what ratio of Baking Soda to water did you use and what was your application method/approach?
