I had nicknamed my black Camaro 'Darth,' because when I first saw the picture on the dealer's website, it reminded me of Darth Vader - an all-black car in a white room. I was washing the new one a...
According to Anthony, when I talked to him on the phone, he is still very involved with training detailers to use the NXTZEN products and is STILL a "Detail Junkie," HIS WORDS.
Klasse Act is right - not only a supercharger, but an exhaust, aftermarket headlights, tinted taillights. All that's left is to ceramic coat it, and that's underway right now, so ....
I thought the rear window on the 5th Gen was "difficult" to clean (inside), but compared to the 6th - WOW ... trying to get the bottom of the window on the 6th is a real bear!
This one is subdued, there is a little 'burble' when I first hit the gas and a small amount of burbling when I coast in gear, but it sounds pretty good overall.
The car has (I believe) the RS package with the 2LT option. Which means it has a top speed of 155 (at least before the supercharger tune). But, most of all, I don't plan on testing the car's limits....
Last month, on the 18th, a distracted (being nice) driver totaled my black 2013 Camaro, and I was found "at fault" for swerving to keep him from t-boning me. I still get MAGOR POed even thinking...
It's the first coating that I've actually SEEN installed by a detailer on YT that I trust ... I'll go ahead and say it, I've spoken with Phil Miranda several times, plus watched MANY of his videos....
Phil Miranda (from Miranda Detailing - YouTube) put out a video on GTECHNIQ C1 ceramic coating. His demonstration made the process look so insanely easy, that it convinced me I need to try. Of course...
It's not something I would buy for myself, and after years of the PC and 5.5" pads, it DOES seem really HUGE. But as it was a gift from a nephew (who knows nothing about detailing), I owe it to him...
So, for Christmas, my well-meaning nephew bought me an RO polisher ... It is one of those so-called "wax spreader" polishers available at Walmart. With a 10" pad from *AutoSpa. It comes with 1 foam...
The need for decompression is VITAL! I just found out Thursday during my 1-year check up after an incident in October '22 that I DID have a heart attack, when all this time I thought it was...
I recently took my wife's Ford Escape in for warranty work. I had JUST finished a 4-step detail/winter prep on the car, and it was in immaculate (but dirty from being driven in the rain the day...
My grandfather had a Kozak MANY years ago, before I had even thought of waxing a car (before I was legal to drive even), but even back then, he had stopped using it and began using cleaner-waxes ......
Which is why twice a year (usually in the Spring and Fall), I will use a mild abrasive (such as the Ceramic Polish & Wax or a straight, light polish) to remove all the "old" waxes / sealants and...
I am on a few detailing pages on FarceBook and I was explaining to someone the 3-step process I recently used on my Camaro and the wife's Escape that have yielded good results and was advised by...
You're right about the recognition not being the primary reason we detail cars. but I also have a confidence problem as well as an unhealthy "Need for Approval."
