I've been looking for a while for a buyer for my 625hp Camaro for some time now. I've had it for 10 years and there's a ton of history with it. Hard to let it go, but its time. So with the arrival of the shipping company looming, I decided to give it one last cleanup and shoot some final pictures of it. Nothing special about the cleanup, but its more of a tribute to 10 years with this beast of a car and the long journey I had with it. Onto the pics...




Wasn't super dirty, but hadn't been washed in several weeks and had some good dirt buildup on it.

Even though its dirty, you can still see swirl-free paint.

This is where proper washing and drying with the 2 Bucket Method and Grit Guards and high quality microfibers comes in handy. Good thorough wash and still no swirls or marring.

Dude I feel your pain, I'm currently polishing my car for the last time getting it ready to sale, it's been my baby but the wife prego with a new baby on the way so I'm having to swap one for another, great looking car, and a nice motor to boot 625's nothing to sneeze at :)
 
We all go through this at one time or another in our lives and like you said; it's time.

You have a great looking Camaro, allot of history and some great memories. After this post you'll also have some great photographs!

Thanks for posting! :props:
 
Car is hot, I love NBM Forth Gens....... I miss my Black 02 Z28, it was a cam only car trapping 120 in the 1/4 with a crappy 11.86.... I'll see how I like the 2JZGTE engines, got one in a Cressida. I'm curious if I will like boost...
 
This brings back memories of my old F bodies...

True true. Have a cool car as a kid. Get married. Have kids. Get some lame station wagon or "practical sedan"

After the kids are grown, go through a second childhood and buy a crazy yellow car :xyxthumbs:
