Grandfather's 68 SS Camaro.

Just a little tidbit on cleaning cars in general. Washing a car all the time seems like a great idea but if the car isnt driven the water that finds it way into areas you wouldnt realize. Driving the car after washing the car allows the water to be pulled out of those areas and to dry out. Washing and then putting in the garage will increase the speed of rust under the vinyl top and paint. Get some quick detailer in the spray bottle and a very good microfiber towel. I have not washed the green car in over a year and the blue 67 has been washed once since being finished back in 2015.

Also go to autogeek and do some reading on detailing. Especially about clay bar usage and paint polishes.

I appreciate your enthusiasm but unfortunately you could do more harm than good. Food for thought.

Noted! Thank you!


As an aside, OH. MY. GOD. This thing is brakesteering like you would not believe. So, no show for it this Sunday.
In addition, the shifter needs to be gone through (we ended up not sending it in- just never materialized)

One step forward and two steps back- this kinda dance can never last!"
