I laughed at the Zaino comments - I still have a few bottles laying around.

For the do it yourselfer, you can apply a ceramic coat yourself (which will outlast Zaino by years) and then put Zaino on top of it if you like the gloss

Thanks for the assembly line pics

Adams (also sponsor of the Corvette) makes some pretty good car care stuff these days, I used Zaino on my 2000 WS6 back in the day (jeesh i'm getting old) There is so much new stuff out there and easier to use and protects better than Zaino these days.

One day soon, I will tell my whole story behind getting this car. I have a long history with Camaros and the people that build them. The website on my 92 Camaro might give you a clue.

Congrats!

Congrats; I would Love to see a picture of all of them together

I'm surprised you didn't get the final year (2024), unless you have inside baseball that 2023 is it (for full ICE)

Xelor · 08-09-2022, 10:28 AM

Who said 2024 is last year?
Maybe he did get the last year?
LS obviously is a guy in the Know.

arpad_m · 08-09-2022, 11:04 AM

He is, but he may just be itching for a new Camaro already. There should be some sort of package to commemorate the last model year of the Camaro, and nothing was announced for 2023.

Zaino really is a great wax, I don't think any wax I've used creates a better shine or is as easy to buff out. Made my E46 M3 unbelievably glossy.

ZX-10R · 08-09-2022, 12:37 PM

If you don't mind re-applying every six months or you have a garage queen it works well. In terms of durability, ceramic coating (even the lower cost stuff you can buy on Amazon) blows it out of the water

Chippy · 08-09-2022, 01:05 PM

This is what I was saying he is in the know. Good luck getting a 24.

LeonardS · 08-09-2022, 01:25 PM

I was told “if you want a 6th Gen order it now.”What does that mean…… don’t know, but I knew I wanted a ZLE before production ends. GM has said nothing official, but when a friend and executive says “order now” I did. There may well be a 24, but if there isn’t, you are going to be sad that you didn’t get an order in. I have my car, so I won’t be sad if they do build 24’s. Do what makes you comfortable, but how many ZLE’s are you seeing delivered? I think mine could be the first 23 ZLE delivered.

Mine will be a garage queen. It will get 10+ coats of Zaino. It’s a good opportunity to get to know every inch of your car.

Some of your pics ended up on Hellcat.org as a Demon owner just ordered one and admired your build.
