appearance care for the 2011 camaro?
I know quite a bit about engines & technical crap, but I'm clueless when it comes to taking care of the outside of the car..
I have had my all black 2011 LS for about two weeks & it needs a clean-up.. What kind of products should I use as far as washing & waxing? |

Adam's Polishes and cleaners are by far the best out there

Pro yellow wax is all I have used on my cars for 17 years.

Well I've had my car about two months now. I just used Mothers California gold Car Wash, then Clay Bar, then Meguires Yellow #26 wax. Looks really nice, I didn't think since its so new that wax would improve it. WOW, Synergy Green waxed looks better then Synergy Green washed.
Black will be fun to keep clean. I am sure when you wax your car you will be like wow that is nice. Black cars waxed correctly look amazing such a deep color. |

How do people in here feel about Quick Detailers? Meguires makes them, along with Armor All, Mother's, Adam's (as mentioned earlier) and many others.
I am not talking about using a Quick Detailer as a Wax, but for in between spots you may get, like getting rid of bird droppings. |
