My first returning customer.



This Outback was detailed by me a couple of months ago and needed some attention after a trek down a muddy track. The new Kranzle made short work of it and the application of Hydr02 last time really helped with maintenance today. I therefore gave it another coat of anticipation of next time.

The customer was delighted to see it all shiny again and looks like this will be a regular gig.

So with the equipment all out, it would have been rude of me to deny the Pony a wash.





I used EliXir as a drying aid.

DFB the car is looking beautiful!

Not smart of me to follow that beautiful red pony with my red car, but I gave my Z a foam bath with cg watermelon foam, dried with Gyeon silk towel and dressed the tires with Griots Satin tire coating.

JDGolden I’ve got a soft spot for for that gen Camaro/Firebird. In my opinion only bettered by the first 2 gens and its close between them all.

I love them all! What really got me hooked on them was my dads old 1981 Camaro. It had a 350 with dart heads, decent cam, and a TH400 with a converter and manual valve body. It was a pretty fast street car in the 90s. My first car was a red 1986 IROC-Z, 305 car with not much power. But I didn’t care. I had it for 9 years and sold it because it just needed too much work after awhile (190k miles, needed floor pans).

I found my current Camaro 4 years ago. While I had my IROC, I drooled all over the 98-02 Camaros on the dealer lots, couldn’t afford one though. Mine has 60,xxx miles on it and is almost the way I would have bought it new. I couldn’t find a 6 speed car that was clean and lower mileage in my budget. But I’m still very happy with it.

My uncle has a 1967 convertible that’s been restored. Also bright red. My FIL has a 2010 SS (orange) that he bought new. I plan to buy it if he ever sells it. Even if my red Z has to go, so be it. My wife and I drove away from our wedding ceremony in his car. It has sentimental value to me, and lots of it.

Major Camaro family here.

Awesome background story! I can definitely appreciate it as a car guy! I really like the styling of those 80’s Camaros as well. Actually most 80’s 90’s cars tend to look good in my eyes and are under appreciated I think. Though I’m sure sluggish performance and HP numbers play into that.

190k on an 80’s American car!? That’s gotta be some sort of achievement. Not surprised rust got to it, I grew up in the Midwest and in the import, mainly Honda scene. Unfortunately rust has had its way with so many cool(used loosely) cars in the area.

Yep, hard miles too. I bought it with a gutted interior, bumpers off, etc. I was under the car about to cut off the stock exhaustion favor of a new (used) exhaust when I started poking around the floors and the rear seat area was a bit soft. Didn’t cut the exhaust, and listed it for sale that week.

Btw I agree with you; I love the first two generations a lot.

As for 80s cars, I’m all about them as well. My holy grail is a Grand National.

I was lucky enough to own an 87' GN from 1995-2000
