So after 6 hours this is my final product.

So today I decided to detail the heck out of my camaro. I started the day off by doing a quick wash to my dads HHR that I have been driving for the past few weeks. After that it came time to my camaro. I started off by washing the car twice with normal dish washing liquid to get off all thenpldmwax and then washing it with car soap. 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

Thank you. I can already feel the burn in my arms from the circular motion and all that buffing.

All in the first post. Washed with liquid dish soap and then surf city garage car soap. After that a meguires clay bar. After claying I used surf city garage nano sealer and buffed it out. Once that was done let it sit for a while since I had to go walk my dog and I came back and did surf city garage wax. Yet again buffed and shined. All of this was done by hand so I'm feeling it my arms. For the stripes like I said I used mothers back to black and the tires I used wet n black from turtle. That about sums it up. I can take a picture of all the products. I believe autozone or advanced is now carrying their products. They are pricey though. Not as much as Adams but more than normal.
