Phase 2 Is Now Complete.... Trans Am Is In Storage *Pics* Well it has been a great summer/season. I stored the Trans Am today 
Here Is Phase 1 Info
Here is what i did for Phase 2....
- Washed the car with dish soap
- Dryed it with the Absorber chamois
- Did not claying - As it came out of the garage maybe 10 times this year and i out on 1,570 miles on it
- Meguiars Step 1 cleaner wax. This gets rid of fine scrathes and swirls
- Meguiars NXT wax. This was applied with a buffer
- But stock rims and tires back on
Here are the pics as the day progressed......
Here are my reflections shots

yeah winter sucks up here. i'm not looknig forward to putting my car away yet either. luckily in my case i just have to disconnect the battery and put the cover on it since its already always parked in the garage where i'll store it. i actually bought mine down in ft lauderdale when i was living down there so its never had to go through any northern winter

My car is ALWAYS sitting in my moms garage. But i needed to clean it up as i have not washed it since July b.c i never drive the damn car. But yup i pulled the battery today and covered her up till next spring
BTW, my car came from Florida too. Don't know what part. But it has not seen snow EVER! Last time it saw rain was in 2005

For both mirros and the sail panel i used Meguiars Step 1 which is a cleaner wax. It removes fin scratches and swirls. I applied this all by hand, and took it off by hand. Then i used Megiuars NXT wax. I applied it with a buffer using a micrfiber towel, removed it with a buffer using a terry cloth towel, then i used my microfiber towel and polished it by hand jsut to make sure i got all the wax off
I'm guessing we forgot about SuperDawg?

When using the FTRA, air travels to the spot with less resistants, that is the bottom of the car, so with all that i said above being sealed off it pressurizes the airbox sucking in all the air at the bottom of the car

If your sail panels and the roof is extremely scratched up, hazed, or has a ton of swirls in it, you need to buff it with a heavy compound and work your way up to a finish compound, then wax. My 93's panel was destroyed, and it came out as a mirror with the right amount of polishing and work..took around 4 hours...sorry to thread hijack...nice looking car, it sucks living in Chicago..but it does save miles, my car has been in storage since beginning of september due to college.
