New guy and First Camaro
Aloha to all,
So today I just picked up my new 2012 2SS 45th Camaro. I'm a stickler for stick so I had to get it with the Hurst shifter. Also living in Texas pretty much requires me to at least have a sunroof (since I'm not a fan of convertibles). This is actually a few firsts for me. First Camaro, first American car, first NEW car. Being 28 I've only ever purchased used before so this is awesome (that and I haven't had air conditioning in the past several years). For existing owners, here is a quick one. What would be the best way to initially protect/seal the exterior? I've never had a vehicle with decals before so I'm not sure what would be best. Ming finish, wax block...? |

I'm down in San Antonio, so we have rather intense sun rays here. I've been customizing the phone and radio settings along with just driving around the city all day in between BBQing with the family. Night driving is just effing sexy in this car. I'll get some stuff with it up at the end of the week after first wax and such. Have a good one all.
