I'm a white dude, but I look black when I'm done polishing. My tub cringes when I'm get ready for a shower after polishing.
You should remove the can.

Also you could clean up the areas around the shock towers and clear coat them for a glossy finish. Also the areas around the radiator support etc. This came out in a flat finish from factory.

They arent too flat I thought about getting some cd2 and seeing how well it shines after. I knew a guy that did professional detailing ill have to talk to him his camaro engine compartment looked really shiny when he was done. I was also going to take out as much stuff as I could to clean behind like the fuse boxes and a few other things then put them back of course.

lets see a pic?
you better be prepared to spend alot of time sanding and polishing. buy its way worth it. but some buffing pads that will fit into a drill though, it'll cut the polishing stage in half atleast and bring out a better shine. post up pics of your progress.

FredoCamaro- Ive never tried the cover on an LT1, but if you buy it and it doesn't fit we'd refund the money...
They are made to order. I never have any that sit on the shelf or I'd try it out for ya on my '94
