Greetings from NC, USA! New to Camaros.

Hello, everyone! I've been lurking these forums for a few months now and finally got me one of my dream cars! Decided it was apt to finally join the forums here. I rolled off the lot on August 1, 2017 with my 2016 Camaro 2LT RS (Yellow) and couldn't be happier! I'm young, but I just came from a 1996 Dodge Neon which was starting to reach 200K miles. I have some newbie questions though. (Or should these be reserved for their own thread?)

My car came with some paint specks on them which show white underneath. What is your recommendation to get it back to as normal as possible without breaking the bank? (I want to PlastiDip the car in the future anyhow.)

Do you only hand wash your car? What about touchless car washes? Do regular autostores/stores possibly carry things such as Adam's Car Shampoo and the like or do I need to use Amazon?

What kind of modifications do you think would be good to consider for my V6 down the road? For aesthetics, I already want a black hood or stripes with the bumblebee logo with black rims.

Sorry for the long introduction post! I look forward to discussing with all of you and admiring these beautiful cars throughout the years!

CONGRATS on the ride, and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5/6. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wives', husbands, girlfriends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.

oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!
