detailed the SS got it 2 weeks ago!

I just got the car two weeks ago and got a chance to do a quick detail I started off washing the car then claybaring the whole car and then some meguires wax cleaner which really brought out the glow in the paint. Then I added some pinnacle 180 xmt which gave the paint the wet look. then the final step was some poorboys nattys red paste wax which made the paint pop. I also added some chrome cleaner on the rims which made the chrome look like a mirror. I did the whole interior cleaned it then added some leather cleaner and conditioner on the seats and I also cleaned all the all the trim with some armoral wipes and did all the wheather stripping. All I have left is to shampoo the carpet which is not that bad. i also wiped down the motor which was not that bad either. Here are some pics enjoy

The only mods on the car was i had the windows tinted 35% and I did a drop in K&N the car is bone stock!!!!!

Looks great man. I'd be tempted to trade if it were a 6 speed.

It looks really great! I hope you leave it stock. The car's getting old enough that it's already looking different from most of the other LT1 SSes left on the street. and/or

All I've done to the car is 35% tint and a shorty antenna 8" and a drop in K&N air filter it will stay bone-stock for sure!!!!

Please ignore my ten-week-old mistake. It's been corrected already. I couldn't see the pictures (blocked by WebSense) and I thought we were talking about a 5th gen.
