1972 Camaro SS - OBSSSSD Show Wax

[TylerHoffarth]

I recently had a great client of mine reach out to have some work done on his show car, 1968 Camaro SS.
The vehicle was in need of some heavy polishing to remove years of dry-dusting and car covers being dragged over the surfaces.

As the vehicle is used primarily for show-purposes, we polished the car and finished it in the best show-wax we have ever laid our eyes on Swissvax OBSSSSD Show Wax.

Tools Used
Rupes MK11 15
Rupes iBrid (1" & 2" pads)
Rupes LHR75

Product Used
Griots Fast Correcting Cream
Sonax 04/06
Rupes Diamond




Prior to any work being completed:



A Quick Before/After:


And now some of the After Shots!









Thanks for looking!

If you're ever looking for a high-quality wax designed for the ultimate in appearance, definitely use the OBSSSSD Show Wax by Swissvax. A few coats of this made the paint dripping wet!

That's not a '72...looks like a '69 to me. It does look great though. Nice work.

Correct, 72 was the 2nd gen. That’s a 69 with covered lights.

Amazing work and results! Congrats.

Actually, it's a 68! My bad, I have another customer with a 72 (with is orange... Strange how I messed it up on this post!)

Thanks for the catch!

68 as per reply above. Thanks for catching! Too many vehicles I'm getting posts ready for, mix some of them up too often LOL.

Yup, a 69 had slightly flattened off wheel wells at the top, the side markers were much more rectangular, front turn signals were round, "gills" right in front of the rear wheels, AND the hidden headlights for 69 were "louvered" so WHEN the headlight doors didnt work (They were controlled by vacuum and earlier cars had so many problems with them) the owner could still have some front lighting. Im not obsessed or anything LOL

AWESOME WORK MAN!!

I thought it might be a '68, that's why I said it looked like a '69 not that it was a '69. lol There weren't many '68s with those headlights were there? It's mainly the '69's that are known for those. I had a '72 Camaro, not an SS though.
