New Owner of a 14 1LE - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

This is looking as a good one. Try to install these aggressive dive planes. My friend has these.

I was using chemical guys matte detailer which works good on the wrapped hood. Now since I started using hydrosilex recharge on the whole car and the hood stays a deep matte look. Water just beads up and runs off.

I've always just used Windex glass cleaner on my hood. Still looks as good as when new after 5 summers. I've had other 1LE owners ask if its been re-wrapped.
Real simple to use as well, very forgiving.

I was told by a 3M rep. that ammonia will ruin the vinyl wrap.

I was also using Chemical Guys, about a month ago I was doing a quick detail with Meguiar's Ultimate Fast Finish after the Texas Mile and got some on the hood. The next day, that spot looked pretty good, so I did the rest of it. The wrap still looks like I just applied it.

Wow. never heard that.
Maybe because its just wiped off right away ?
I was always under the impression windex is mild.

Anyways, my wrap still looks like new.

That's crazy but results speak for themselves. I'll definitely keep this in mind down the road.

my wrap is stained with dead bugs and bird drops.. i tried mother's vlr with no luck, once you spray it it's very greasy/glossy you have to wipe it off then it dries.. and streaks everywhere.. oh my. i hate this. you're the first i see here that uses windex..
i was thinking of trying-- seen here on the forum-- adam's& chemical guys..for cleaning /taking care of the wrap.

got nothing to loose.

I had a 10 hour drive from Iowa to Denver in November when I got mine, all on G2s, never got over 40 degrees��

Welcome aboard, you'll love this car.

Pretty sure I’ve read you want to replace the vinyl at least every 5 years if you care about the paint on the hood. Every 3 if you’re in the AZ desert like myself.
