I've been looking for a while for a buyer for my 543rwhp Camaro for some time now. I've had it for 10 years and there's a ton of history with it. Hard to let it go, but its time. So with the arrival of the shipping company looming, I decided to give it one last cleanup and shoot some final pictures of it. Nothing special about the cleanup, but its more of a tribute to 10 years with this beast of a car and the long journey I had with it. Onto the pics...




Wasn't super dirty, but hadn't been washed in several weeks and had some good dirt buildup on it.














Even though its dirty, you can still see swirl-free paint.





















Dirty engine bay

 

Nice and clean!

































This is where proper washing and drying with the 2 Bucket Method and Grit Guards and high quality microfibers comes in handy. Good thorough wash and still no swirls or marring.


















Down at the regional park for a few more pics
















More swirl free paint



















Had a great run with this car, now its off to its new owner.

 

The car looks amazing. The NBM looks so much different when its been polished to the level yours has. Whatcha getting, ya staying int he camaro/firebird world or are ya moving on to something new? If your moving on, you should still post your details in here. I always enjoy checkin your correction threads out.

 

Yeah that is one nice ride man,sorry to hear its going,what's next? If I had to let the camaro go I would have to get a c5z,or c6,just don't tell us if your plans are for a new 5.0 lol,they are sick rides though

 

Hate to see that car go. I've seen it come a long way since I've been here on 'Tech. I was considering buying it for a while, but decided to step into a Z06.

 

I'd change my mind after seeing it so clean. Whats the plans for the next toy?

 

Thank you! I think so many people don't realize the potential of this color!!! I get asked constantly if its a custom color and people are shocked when I tell them its factory and not a respray. Well I'll be buying my first home later this year so thats the next upgrade lol. Once thats done I'll be shopping for a C6 Z06 in a year or two. LS1tech is my home and I'll still have an LS-based vehicle (my truck ), but yeah I'll still be posting up as long as you guys want to see them.

Thanks! I'm no ford guy, but I'll admit the new 5.0s are good looking and quick, with great mod potential...but not enough to make me switch sides. The replacement will probably be a C6 Z06.

Thanks! Yeah its definitely been through a lot. But its time to move on.

I wanted to, but the car is paid for and just waiting on the shipping company to show up. Next toy will likey be a C6 Z06. Not quite as powerful, but a lotta fun and a great driver.

 

First of all. Congradulations to me for this new machine.
I would ike you guys to know that the seller was an awesome guy to deal with. I have to say, I fell in love with this car when I first saw it. I was actually shopping for a low mileage WS6 when I ran across this Camaro a month back and almost had bought it but had an issue come up but was later resolved and the deal was made a few days ago.

 

congrats on the purchase!

 

congrats on the purchase!

So what were the numbers like for a clean built fbody like this.

 

I think that car is sharp as hell, I like the intake matched paint. Not really a fan of the hood but overall, very nice.

 

I also like the 427 badges, lets ya know its not just a normal ol LS1

 

That's a good looking car man!!!

 

Jeff!!!! Cant believe you sold the car after 10 years, but like you said its time to move on. Congrats on the sale and congrats to the buyer for purchasing probably the cleanest car on tech. Ill be looking into a C6Z here in the near future as well Jeff, when I start the new job. Should be going into the academy within the next year at the latest. I know who's going to be doing the paint correction on my C6Z when I get it........... maybe Immaculate Reflections.... I hear good thing about that company.

 

Thats a beautiful car. What mitt and car wash liquid do you use? I just worked on my car for 8 hrs and I need some good stuff to work with!

 

Nice car. If you don't mind me asking, what is the foam you are spraying on it before washing? Some sort of soap attachment for a hose? Don't know if it's a trade secret, but what is your process for cleaning the engine bay? Looks awesome.

 

Thank you!

I wanted something that said that very thing, while retaining a stock look with the same font as the factory badges and the same size.

Thank you!

yeah man, not a decision I made lightly, but it was time. Thanks for the kind words on the car too. I've worked hard to build a clean machine. You gonna get a black one? I'm going with silver. Sounds like this Immaculate Reflections has a pretty good rep, may have mine done too!

Thanks! I like the Pinnacle MF mitt and Zaino Z6 soap.

Its a Foamaster II foam gun. You can mix any soap in it, about 1-2 ounces with it full of water. Engine bay process is never let it get really dirty, and lots of detail spray and just some time. Thanks!

 

Thanks for your congrats. The transporter should pick it up in an hour or two from now. I just hope things go smooth and they get it here Wednesday.

 

 

What's with the non-matching tires up front?
