Haha I wish I could teach him how. It would cut my time in waxing in half. But his nails might scratch the car.

On a serious note that was because it was right after his walk and he tends to just lay down all day.

After that I clayed to whole car and sealed the paint with nano sealer. By that time it was 3 pm and I need to take care of my dogs food and walk so I took a small break. I then came back to wax the camaro dress the tires and apply some black to black on my stripes deffisuer and the little spoiler under the front fascia. A total of 6 hours and my camaro is looking better than ever. And by the way I used surf city garage products. They worked very well and gave a nice gloss finish and the paint is very smooth.

Let me know what you guys think. Tomorrow comes the interior







Hopefully tomorrow I can get some more better pictures

Car looks great no doubt. But for you or anyone else thinking about using these steps, the liquid dish soap isn't necessary if you are going to clay bar anyway. Claying the car removes all of the old wax and gives you the best surface to start back with your multi-step process. The best thing I have found to get these similar results and to save time is to wash with a good auto soap and while the panel is still soapy, clay it at the same time.

Just trying to save you some sore muscles.

Well here is the picture. You can see the the pacific blue wash the barrier reef wax and the nano sealer. The forth is a glaze which I didn't use since I did the wax. They are smillar but the wax is a little stronger and last longer I was told



All of these were bought at advanced auto except the wax. Bought that off of their website since you can get bigger sizes than the stores carry. And while out today I noticed Walmart has some of their products now also.

I do. He has a 20 foot tie out. I put him in the shade when I was washing but when I parked it in the garage I decided to tie him to the jack and he just lies there looking at me like how long is this kid gonna take on his car.
