Default Post-detail pics of my Camaro

Unfortunately, the sun didn't stay out long enough to show just how deep the paint really looks. I started using Mcguiers NXT 2.0 wax recently, and I am very pleased with it. Easy application, easy removal, great shine (and it smells good too). I clay bar'd it a few weeks ago, but it didn't really need it. I also use the purple colored Mcguiers gel tire shine, and Zaino leather conditioner. Before anyone else says it...yes my car needs to be lowered a bit, and yes I need new center caps and lugs.

I always felt most of Mcguier's waxes were just "average" in the past, but I'm diggin the NXT 2.0 stuff. Give it a try if you're shopping for some new detailing goodies.

car looks nice and clean.
i say keep the lug covers and just give them a nice coat of black paint thats what i did and it matches all the little black pieces on my car(cayenne red)

only other thing is get those tips adjusted

The centercaps look fine, I wouldn't change them. And I don't even mind the black lug covers. As far as lowering, I'm in the same boat as you, mine needs it too. The only thing I'll suggest is that you remove the side moldings, and possibly get a shorter antenna. Oh and those tires look way too skinny.

Great looking car though, it looks very clean and tasteful. I've thought about giving that wax a try. Mine needs a coat, it has been a while.

Well the rears are 295/35/18 I believe. It does look like the wheels could accommodate slightly wider tires, but not much.

Any auto parts store should have them...I got my Meguier's from O'Reilly's. I think it cost me $15 or so for two bars, quick detailer, etc.

It'll probably take you as long as it would to apply a coat of wax and remove.

Looks good. That place where you took the pics looks just like Lake Jacomo out near me.

Nice job, are your wheels polished or chrome?

Yeah I don't know what I was thinking, when I looked earlier I thought the fronts were like 245's or something
