    1981 El Camino SS

    I'm practicing on doing better write-ups so here we go.

    Well lately here in NC the pollen and dust has been down right awful and since this weekend they are calling for rain it's time to clean the ole Camino up because shes kept inside when the doors open on Monday the pollen and dust will be way down. Now on to the detail.

    The front bumper was covered in bugs and the rest is pollen





    after a good wash with NXT


    the rear was done the same only covered with road grime and pollen



    after


    wheels and wheel wells before


    after wash with Megs Super Degresser and Dressed with Megs Hot Shine


    Roof Before Wash


    Roof being polished with Turtle Wax Polishing Compound


    After being wax with NXT 2.0

    Re: 1981 El Camino SS

    Good job on the rims/wheels/wheel wells it's hard to see exactly what I'm supposed to be looking at on the "After Rear" shots. We need more text to the photos. Like the rear bumper or tail gate was cleaned up, that way we can compare the before's and after and not wonder what was cleaned.
    Example: This after shot (below) I don't know what was cleaned? The tail pipe doesn't look like it was cleaned up much and I really can't see the bumper that well

    You did a great job apply the protectant to the bed cover. I appears to be even and uniform (I see no streaks or missed spots).
