Right now what you’re seeing is in this order: *I broke the laws of detailing by mixing brands...*
Meguairs Ultimate Polish.
Chemical Guys Jet Seal.
Meguairs Ultimate Liquid Wax.
Meguairs Gold Class.
Meguairs Ultimate again.

I was bored yesterday so I got underneath and scrubbed everywhere with a degreeser, and then waxed everything under it, the rockers (what you can see of them), every exposed metal and every crevice has wax on it lmao.
I think your blue would look amazing with chemical guys hybrid v7. Made my gray pop like crazy in the sun

That does look good! I might look into it, since jetseal is working pretty well with the combo, how long does it last? How many washes? I wash my car every week or every time the weather changes from 20-40.

The wax feeling on the car lasted 2 weeks for me but went away after the 1st wash. However, the gloss and shine lasted about 6 weeks or 3 washes. Keep in mind i ONLY claybarred and waxed. So your results may last even longer. I also live in hot sunny south florida.

Where did you find the production number on your Hot Wheels Camaro and do you know how many were made?

I've been having a problem for a few days where putting the shifter into park didn't register with the car. I have to wiggle the shifter back and forth until the message goes away. I called the dealer to make an appointment for next week and they told me that the shifter is all one unit and they usually have to replace the whole thing. I was expecting maybe adjust a switch or something. Guess I'll find out next week.

I use Meguiars for my polishes with a torq buffer and orange polish pad set on speed 6. This works great for paint correction for the scratches we all get over time.

Gtechique and Cquartz UK are acouple real easyceramics to use. But your car has to be as close to perfect as you can get it because it will lock in any scratches you have.
Try Z2 Pro then ZCS and immediately hit with Z8... I have 9 cycles of this currently.

I have used Zaino for many years and for a garaged car it is great. However, I used it on our Honda Accord when I bought it new which is not garaged and outside it only lasted about 7 months. I used the Z2 and ZCS and re-coated every couple months with the ZCS. I just redid it with McKees 37 ceramic paint coating and prep polish after clay baring and will see if it can hold up to the harsh Florida UV and heat longer. The car looks nicer than with the Zaino but is pricey at $45 for 4oz and the prep coating is about $19. There is enough for 3 or 4 cars though. I am going to do the Camaro next year as I still have enough Zaino for another treatment before than.

I could not take the drone anymore and the wake the neighbors loudness of the mods the previous owner did to the exhaust on my 16 SS. So today I installed the AWE Touring Cat-Back Exhaust. I must say it sounds much better now

BEFORE:





AFTER:






I will try to post a vid later but all I can say is it now sounds like 6.2L of pure sexy. Wife even likes it now so that a great honor

Began building it! Paint came out decent.

This does still count as doing something to my Camaro, right? Doesn't say anything about it having to be my real one.
