So I decided to get the clay bar kit out and go over the entire car (after a thorough wash of course), then a nice coat of wax. I can't believe what a difference it made. Now I've had this car since May of 2009, and have put on almost 17,000 miles. So I guess it was due for a good cleaning. I didn't think there was that much dirt in the paint though! Only thing to do now is reclaim the clear from the swirl marks that are in it, and they're not too bad. Anyway, here she is on a nice sunny day in beautiful So Cal! BTW, the wheels are Modulare H1's 22", check out the link in my sig!

I bet that was a good days work... wash/clay/wax, but well worth it!

Looks like your paint is holding up well, after 17k miles! Lets just say I've seen a few too many threads about 'chipped paint'.

Orange5thGen · 04-13-2010, 08:25 PM

Dam that looks good. I am doing mine all day tomorrow I will also post a few picks after finished!

I wish the weather wasn't sucking so I can detail mine. I cancelled a whole order of Adams polishes cuz April sucks ass. And I wanted stripes sooner.

Your car is teh win btw

Looks great man! The graphics on the windows are a little overdone though, IMO. Is this a company show car or something?

Looking damn nice, doing mine next week.

I love the Brembo Big Brake Kit! Are those the BBS CH-R rims? If not, they look very similar. Those are my favourite style of rim on the Camaro. Great looking car!
