Used several high end products for the paint and interior. Went the sealer route rather then wax. Also for the engine used CD-2 Engine detailer to give it that final glow. It also protects the engine bay hoses etc. It works like a champ! I like this car more every day I have it. Picked up two of my kids from school today at their request. My wife and kids love the car also.

Also used the solar gard clear film on the front windshield. Although clear, from the outside of the car it looks tinted as it reflects the light better!

Be careful with the pictures and the plates. A young guy here had an 800 HP Supra too. It was amazing to see it at the track (NHIS) and spinning the tires at 100 MPH down the front straight. Anyway, someone saw pictures with his plates, tracked down his address and stole it right out of the garage.

Nice review and exquisite pictures of the footwell and cup holder lighting! It's a bit of an ellegant touch to the car, and adds to the overall experience even more so in my opinion. It came as a dealer installed option on mine, and once I figured out how to use it, I was thrilled to have it. Red or blue, high or low intensity....a cool feature indeed.

Black car looks good with silver wheels, I think you should name it SR-71 or YC-12

Hey Camaro5 guys. Cameron told me he posted some pictures online and I had to see what it looked like somewhere other than in the hangar. Man, this was an absolute awesome car to get to detail. Brand new cars are actually harder to work on than older ones simply because it is more difficult to make them look better than they already do. This car was in relatively good shape to start out with considering the environment it had been sitting in for so long. Lots of dirt and waterspots and some sort of scum all over it, but otherwise it was pretty clean. Nothing a light polishing wouldn't make absolutely perfect. If you are really interested in what products were used you can check that out by going to my blog where I documented it. The bottom line is it was washed, clayed, and polished to remove all of the contamination and surface scratches and then sealed with CQUARTZ ceramic sealant. That is what gives it the ridiculous shine. This is a product which is supposed to reduce the light swirls caused by washing, so we'll see how well it works. Cameron isn't the kind of guy to be too hard on his vehicles, so I'm sure it will hold up fine.

Here are a couple other pictures I took of the beast after we were done with it. The thing is absolutely amazing. Other than the typical GM factory orange peel and a couple specs of dirt which were under the paint, there really isn't much to fault with this vehicle. The leather is awesome and I'm just really impressed with the entire fit and finish of the car. It is definitely something to be envied!

WoW! I've seen this thread several times and I just noticed, especially in that last picture, that the 1 in the ZL1 is not in line compared to others that I've seen here on the forum....maybe Cameron can get that corrected

I think it might just be the angle of the photos. The emblems are meant to be kind of trippy I think.

Does anyone know whether these tags were put on other GM factory products ?

Just curious
My 2006 STS V and 2008 HHR SS came with em,
