Most Dealerships.....pay some low-scale guy $7/hr to prep the cars....! You think he'll care?

I'd say +1 for awareness reasons alone. Most people just don't have a clue! Driving around for a few days sitting on plastic and with a dirty car was a small price to pay, to have my car properly "made ready". Not to mention everything I learned as a result.

This is my third new car... and by far the best looking paint job of them all as a result of the effort.

Going "overboard" was the wrong choice of wording. Now you say they brought the car in from the "Railyard." Now are these railyards affliliates of GM or just railyards that transport every and anything? If they are car specific,, do all of them have the capability of hosing down cars as they are loaded or unloaded? Appreciate all the answers. My dealer said I'm at 6000, but he thinks the car is stuck in a railyard somewhere. Hope it is alright.

Congratulations, what a beauty !

They are freight trains that may have one or two railcars on them that have actual cars... but cars are not typically the only things the train is carrying. The rail yards, that I have seen anyway, are automobile specific but these are train yards that have trains driving through/stopping and being unloaded. These are rail yards being worked by rail yard workers. Graphite and brake dust abounds and I doubt seriously you'll ever see a step inserted here where cars are cleaned.

Congrat's on your status/event code!

LOOKS GREAT !! Just like the day it rolled off the line. Thank You for supporting GM and i wish you many happy years of driving excitement with that KICKASS IBM....

Best Regards

Super60 and your Oshawa Camaro Build Team. :thumbup:

Congrats Number 9!
So all i have to do is a light low pressure rinse to get the rail dust off?

You guys built an incredible vehicle. Simply awesome. Thanks again Super60 - for everything.

That loosened the dirt/rail dust... then he used light, straight, one direction strokes with soapy water and a soft sponge.... then lightly rinsed and clay barred. The clay bar is what really gets the the junk off, with the preceding steps breaking/loosening/removing the surface dirt.

Awesome! now you can make you trip up here to SD and show me that car! haha. If you end up with any extra wax or anything, ill buy it off of you when you get here

Thanks alot Number 9, you must be staring at it right now!
