congrats on your new camaro!!! was going to get black until i saw synergy green. check out the junkman videos on youtube. would do at least a 2 bucket wash, if not 3 buckets for black... be sure to go down to sears or your local hardware store and get a leaf blower too.

dish washing soap and a wool mitt is the best way to add a nice spider web shine to that bad boy.

Yes I agree, it's a tough job keeping a black paint looking nice..............but you can't beat the looks and the response you get when you are rolling.
