I got my 01 SS buffed! I had some issues with rain spots, it turns out that they were acid spots from sitting in the dealers lot, i dunno if its true but thats what he said. I sat and watched them do the whole thing, buffed it twice then hand detailed it, not one spot missed, $275 the dealer payed for, it looks AMAZING!!, no more swirls ANYWHERE!!... btw its an Onyx Black. Ill post pics soon

Don't mean to hi-jack your thread, but you deserve it anyway for not posting pics.... 
But does anyone know the paint code of Onyx black? I need to get some touchup paint.

Looks great! Now you need to make sure to keep it looking that way.
Basic Weekly Wash Supplies
Wash Mitts - Eurow genuine sheepskin mitt or a 100% cotton wash mitt.
Car Wash Soap - some popular ones are Eagle One Wet wash, Mother's California Gold, 1Z Perls shampoo, Zaino Z7, and Wolfgang auto bathe.
Drying - Waffle Weave microfiber towels, electric leaf blower, and/or 100% white cotton towels, made in USA.
Washing, Drying and Waxing Tips
- Never use circular motions. Always wash, dry, and wax using front to back and top to bottom motions.
- Don't use the same mitt or bucket for wheels that you use on your paint. The brake dust, etc. from your wheels will cause scratches and swirls in your paint.
- Use two buckets for washing paint. One with a soapy mixture, the other with plain water to rinse the mitt between panels.
Caring for Mitts and Towels
- Wash on the Hot/Cold setting
- Use Liquid Detergent only w/ no bleach and NO fabric softener
- Add distilled white vinegar to the rinse cycle for added softness and soil release
- Rinse twice
- Dry towels on low heat w/ no fabric sheets
