Last Time You Waxed Your Camaro?

Doing mine with McGuires Ultimate Wax for the Summer season here in the Valley of the Heat.

Can I tell you how much I hate black plastic trim? Good thing I only do this 2X a year. Here's a few shots of taping off. Grrr

Good question. Mine is always garaged and while I haven’t owned it very long I have yet to wax it. Thinking of going with a basic turtle wax spray.

Just did a polish and Chemical Guys Jet Seal 2 weeks ago. Probably wax it this weekend and reseal in 6 months.

So, if you do get some wax on black plastic, an old fasioned red rubber pencil eraser takes it right off. Sometimes pencils come with a colored eraser, like white or blue, and these don't seem to work as well. But the regular red erasers work super easy on most black plastic trip pieces.

Here in Michigan mine is my daily all year long. It seems it's fair share of salt, rain, etc....Three times a year I use Collinite 845 for it's durability and shine

Is this the product you're using?



I put that on my black SS right around the end of May, beginning of June and it still looks great. Was easy to apply and buff off too.

That reminds me. I need to reseal as well. It's been a year since I've last done it.. And a polish. Time to finally invest in a polisher
