Just picked up my dream car

I recently picked up my new 2ss 45th edition. I have wanted a 5th gen Camaro since I saw the concept in 2007. I am proud to say this is my first new car purchase and I could not be happier! Everybody has told me "don't get a dark color because you have to clean it all the time!" My response to them was "When you drive a car as awesome as this you GET to spend time detailing it!" LOL! Do you all have any detailing tips that you could share with me? Any Particular waxes or techniques?

awesome!

I'd suggest the Zaino products on detailing. I've been impressed every time I use them.

Congrats, looks great w/o stripes too. If you check the forum home page there's a whole section devoted to care and cleaning. Enjoy!
