So first little review....

The Adams waffle drying towel is awesome. Cut my drying time down by about 2/3's. I will say if you are considering buying one, buy two. One for initial drying, and one for final drying.

Snapped some photo's now that I am done de-griming. Also took the time to remove the "Camaro" badge from the fender.

Total time today about 5 hours actually working....took 6 total but took a break to eat and feed the 7 dogs

I will tell you that Tarminator is a much superior product to Goo Gone automotive for tar and embedded grime removal.

I read a lot of people complaining about how long it took to take the Camaro badge off. Took me maybe 15 mins. When I started the de-grime sprayed one of the products on and behind the badge. Reapplied maybe 2 hours later. Reapplied when I was done de-griming the car. Took some dental floss and the letters came right off. Took my fingernail and removed a lot of the adhesive after that. Then reapplied Tarminator and got the rest off with a microfiber towel.

Clay and wash tomorrow.

Or just buy one of a higher quality towel and be done with it.

Tarminator is a VERY good OTC product that rivals most boutique tar removers.

Your results look great. Good start.

I didn't pay for it

Yeah I made one pass with it, then a pass with the goo gone (which didn't do anything), and made another pass with the Tarminator.

Thanks! I worked hard today. Honestly it didn't all come off...probably about 90%...

Send me some pics of what didn't come off. You worked too hard for 90%. Let's see if we can't get the rest.

Looks like it's coming along nicely Malcom!

Nice move on taking that badge off as well.

Well done with clay barring. Never spent so much time in my life clay barring a car. Summitt White just shows everything and I am OCD. Total time 5.5 hours.





Around the gills was the toughest part. They aren't 100% unfortunately but worlds better. This really was my only problem area I couldn't get perfect.
