I need to get on my computer to edit the OP, but you guys need to order some CarPro Fast Glass towels. I'm blown away. No window cleaner needed, just dampen the towel, wipe the windows and walk away. No streaks.
A lifesaver for interior glass, especially the front and back.

I feel confident I would be able to dispose of one if I tried.

I was being a smart ass. They are reusable.

That's what I initially thought but then the other part made sense also.
Seems cheap, may pick them up.

Anyone know anything or have any opinions on Griot's Garage products? Their headquarters/retail storefront is local.

Never been super impressed with much of their stuff to be honest.

I absolutely agree, when I spent nearly $100 on microfiber products from them when I first got my car, and they all came with TAGS on them it was an immediate indicator. When I sent them back and had to argue why I couldn't just "tear the tags off" it sealed the deal that I will not be buying anything from them again.

Hey guys...Loved this thread...a bit overwhelming...But I just purchased a 2015 and being that the car is now a few days old....What should I do with the factory fresh paint....I am due for a car wash, so I ordered the mitts and towels recommended from Car Pro's...I have the meguiars wash soap... But...
Should I wax...polish...clay...seal...opticoat...clear bra...Jeez there is a lot of info on here. I got a quote on Xpel Clear bra locally for the bumper only...it was about 600.00 and XPEL directly was almost 900.00 presumably for the same thing.. Not a lot of cash right now (downpayment etc...), but I want to start fresh...I do not have a garage spot yet, so I had the dealer throw in the car cover...Good Idea or bad.... Help a new fellow Camaro owner! |

You need to do some research.
Short answer, wash, clay, polish if you have swirls, seal. Clear bra is a good idea if you can afford it.

The car cover will scratch the clear coat if it is not perfectly clean, and a very high quality cover is needed.
I would get it coated with a glass coat like gtechniq C1 and Evo. I will be doing mine when I have a few free days. http://gtechniqna.com/exterior-coati...ystal-lacquer/ |

Ok, crash course taken. Going to be ordering new stuff to try in the next two weeks (spreading it out). I love the shine the Zaino gives me, but I have some very fine scratches. I think the microfibers used on past applications are just not soft enough on the Camaro.
Thanks for the education, and taking the time to do that sticky! |
