Default Finally have a few pictures of my car, and some thanks to make.

Its just your average car, its a 2000 Black Camaro SS, nothing special, I've owned the car for about 4 months now and I love it to death. I treat it better than I do my own self, lol.

The car probably hasn't been detailed its whole life so I figured I'd take it do someone and give her a good rubbin'. The only thing i have done is just wash it and wax/polish it but by hand not by a buffer so I figured id take it to someone that has one.

His name is Scott (99zee on the boards) and he is the Houston area Tropicare/Detailing dealer. He is a local firefighter by day, and a detailer by night. Im making this post to show how great of a job he had done on my car.

He used all Topicare products, first the Swirl Cutter, then the wax, and then a non abrasive pad to take the wax off and boy did it shine.

Scott(99zee) was a great guy, i just sat in his garage while he was doing it, he gave me a drink and we just BSed the whole time about cars. if you live in the richmond/houston area in texas i highly recommend this man for his work.

Here are a few pics, the camera does it no justice (no offense scott, remember i dont even own a camera)

If you have the money to do it.. and you didn't do it yet.. you can give it to me

Awesome SS man, it looks gorgeous. Sometimes I wish I owned a more stock one, just for convenience.

Alex,
Thanks for posting the pictures! It was nice meeting you and glad we were able to finally meet up. My camera stinks and my photo skills aren't the greatest either. The car was very clean to begin with so the swirl cutter and polish really shined it up. I'd like to come by your place and see the 1st Gen's.

Mike, the frig it still working great. Its always full of drinks

thanks for all the kind words guys, i always keep the car clean, it hurts me to see it dirty, always waxed and polished it, it just needed a good buff. its a garage queen, i daily a m5 carolla since im 18 and go to college. so it sits a lot

Scott, just let me know when you have meets, me and my brother will be running around a lot when his 69 gets back from paint, it will give me a reason to drive mine around. and when my brothers gets back, my dad is going to give the same guy his 69 to paint too so his will be out of commission for a while.

when i get my bro's photobucket ill post up some pics of his fresh paint a 69 with 08 z06 red
