Just got my Camaro back from the paint shop! Just got it back yesterday.
I put 2 coats of wax on it, and sprayed that "ICE" detail spray on it after the waxing as well.
How does it look?

The badges & the side molding on the drivers side front fender is not on yet, only because its still being painted. But its going to be back on tommrow.

oh boy!!! hope the clear doesent pop. you should strip that wax off right away, and that ice detail spray most likely is silicone based. thats another big no no. when paint is applied there are solvents in the paint that are use to make it sprayable and activate the clear, as the paint cures the solvents will rise out of the paint and eveaporate, if you wax the car or put some kind of barrier on it you will trap them in the paint and they can "pop" the clear coat
