egott_91 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Hey fellow car enthusiasts, my name is Erik and I'm new to the forum. I'm a sophomore in college and have a 1998 Camaro SS that is my pride and joy then my daily driver 2005 Colorado. I am new to actual "detailing" as a hobby. I have always taken very good care of my vehicles, but it wasn't until this summer that I decided to try out some real detailing products, those products being Adam's. I started out with this kit: Then I got the perfect interior kit and I've been hooked on the products. Pretty much all I asked for Christmas this year was the entire website. Haha. I hope to get a porter cable this spring and start doing some serious detailing with a machine for the first time. I have always done my detailing by hand but I want a better finish and to get all of the swirls and scratches removed that I can from my paint. Hope to learn some more about detailing and what products will be best suited for the results I want to achieve! Here are the mods for the SS if anyone is interested: Performance • PACESETTER LONGTUBE HEADERS • OFF-ROAD Y-PIPE • BORLAMOUTH CATBACK • LS6 INTAKE • SLP COLD AIR INTAKE WITH K&N FILTER • YELLA TERRA ROLLER ROCKERS • PORTED THROTTLE BODY • MSD WIRES • SLP STRUT TOWER BRACE • UMI ADJUSTABLE LOWER CONTROL ARMS • UMI ADJUSTABLE PANHARD BAR • STRANO PERFORMANCE LOWERING SPRINGS (1.2 INCHES) • KONI 4/3 SHOCKS • FRAME TIES Appearance • OEWHEELS C5 DEEP DISH REPLICAS -MACHINED WITH BLACK VENTS -18X9.5/18X10.5 • CENTER MOUNT EXHAUST -6LE 2.5” “DOUBLE D” STYLE TIPS -6LE VALANCE • SLP SS GRILLE • GLOSS BLACK BERGER PANEL -EMBLEMPROS STAINLESS “CAMARO” INSERTS -EMBLEMPROS CUSTOM “LS1” EMBLEM • PAINTED BRAKE CALIPERS -BLACK WITH SILVER BRACKETS AND CHROME “CAMARO SS” • CLEAR FRONT SIDE MARKERS • BLACKED OUT 3RD BRAKE LIGHT AND REAR SIDE MARKERS • EMBLEMPROS “SS” NOSE BADGE And a couple pictures of the SS. Two middle pictures are after using pretty much every product in the first kit I got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long until you do cam/heads on the car and really start making some power??? I'm probably going to pick up a stall next spring and possibly cam. The heads will have to wait a tad longer.
