nice OP!! I wanted a red with black wheels also, but could only find a red with chrome with everything else I wanted (bought my 14 used). Love the torch red and black wheels! You should consider the black powder coated rear exhaust plate, its weird how Chevy left the rear valence near the pipes rather unfinished looking.

I cleaned up my torch red yesterday as well!








Just for kicks, here's a "sketch" of it.

Streetrod, looking good! I'm an Adam's fan as well. Have you tried their Buttery Wax? When you need a quick shine in between polish's it is the bomb:

It's in my arsenal as well!! Goes on so smooth and comes off very easy. Did the tires with their super VRT and I love that stuff too. I will use some Chemical Guys stuff from time to time as well. Adam's glass cleaner is the best I've ever used and I've used quite a bit of different ones. Buy it by the gallon now.

Dang that really does look good. Which Adams products did you use? I have been using Adams products for about eight years. I am very satisfied with every product of theirs I have use.

And you are right about their glass cleaner. It is awesome, especially when used with their green microfiber towel.

Actually I put a ceramic Nano coating (Pinnacle) on it right before I stored it so all I did was wash with my MTM foam lance and then Used the H2o guard and gloss to dry and then a quick mist of their detail spray. I still use a two bucket method and I use the Adam's large square wash mitts. Used Sonax on the wheels then detail spray after. Purchased the Metro Master Blaster over the winter and that thing is awesome for drying!!
