I didn't do half of what I did on this time than I did the last detail. But somehow it seemed to turn out looking better...
Anyways, question, anyone else have a problem with the paint cracking on the front bumper? I've had the bumper stripped down completely, primed, clear'd, painted, and flex-agent added, and it still keeps cracking... What's going on???
Also, You guys all know about the dreadful bug mash marks, Well i've scrubbed and scrubbed and even used the bug and tar remover stuff +claybar'd it and I can't get the stupid *** film off of the car... What do I do??

As far as the cracking on the paint, mine is doing the same thing. I had it repainted after a wreck and and it spider webbed completely. However a shopping car, yes a shopping cart, hit my front bumper and put the TINIEST chip, more of a faint scratch, in the paint. Well, this voided the entire warranty. They told me that the fiberglass bumpers are very sensitive to compression and getting it tapped by something, hitting a curb, grounding your nose out, etc could cause it to happen. Anyways, I got broadsided and got the whole front end replaced again, slid into a ditch in the snow, and the spider web is back.
BTW, I dig the 300zx. Very classy lines, if it wasn't that Z28 it was going to be a TT 300Zx or a 94 Rx7.

I'm debating on putting the stainless/chrome SS decals and inlets for the rear CAMARO panel... I don't think i'll replace the rims, the only thing i'd like to put in their place would be something like the z06's or fikse's both of which are a pretty penny for rims....
Appreciate the comments, its good to hear things like that when you spend 6 hours on something.

yep. polish polish polish wax wax wax. Get alot of good healthy coats on her and when i say alot i mean alot hahaha. and do u have someone to start it every weekend at least? Im military and luckily i have my wife to take core of mine. A cover or garage is probably the biggest thing though. As far as wheels, id say get some chrome 10 spokes and paint the spokes black. If they made camaro SS wheels in 18s i would do that for the hawk

Ah well I figure i'll just leave my car with my mom, things aren't exactly well with the father & I don't trust him. So Just putting a good 4 or so coats of wax & polish would keep the paint good? It'll be garage kept, should I buy a car cover? What about interior??
