Miles Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) My grandfather recently let me borrow his Camaro to use for the trip to and from prom. It hadn't really been driven in a few months and as a result it had accumulated a layer of dust and grime that needed to be removed before my OCD would allow me to take it out in public. I began by attempting to remove as much of the tire browning that I could by spraying an ungodly amount of TRC on them and then scrubbing the faces with the tire brush and the white lettering with a nylon brush, which left them presentable but not perfect. I followed by washing the car and subsequently claying some areas that had noticeable contamination. I brought the Camaro inside and prepped and went around most of the car doing a one step polish with a DA and topped with LPS and Americana Wax. Next it was time for the interior which was vacuumed and cleaned with the interior scrubbing mitt and a leather and interior cleaner followed with leather conditioner. (I apologize in advance for the lack of photo documentation) Edited May 10, 2019 by Miles 98BlackSierra, RayS, tlbullet and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I don't think she would have cared had we driven the Camaro or my truck (see previous picture I posted). I'm sure she definitely enjoyed flying around the backroads at 12am though lol, I know I did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got out of the Navy in 69, I went straight to the dealership and ordered a blue 69 Chevelle SS 396 with a white stripe down the side. Wish I still had mine too. And Chris (moderator on here) just restored a 69 Chevelle. Beautiful car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
