I did a quickie wash and detail on the SS:

Washed with Dawn

Clay barred all painted surfaces

Rinse

2 coats of Z2

Finished off with Z6

 

I cleaned the wheels with Armor All All wheel cleaner and a brush, then I hit them with my RA buffer and a lot of Z2. <- I was pleasantly suprised, this worked quite well.

Looks great...now go shave the Trailblazer Emblem off the back :) Heck, I'd shave them all off.

 

 

I might take the Trailblazer emblem off. I kind of like the "SS" emblems tho. GM put a lot of work into those. They're actually a pearlescent white with a chrome outline, not just white plastic.

 

My sig is a photo of my truck that I've done some chopping on.

Nice job, I have an identical SS, Have you had trouble with the paint chipping in front of the rear wheels. GM has a Paint Chip TSB out for that reason on our vehicles. I just had the dealer take a look, I didn't know if you have encountered any problems. I couldn't tell from the pics, usually a good sealer will protect it from that to an extent, but not completely, just curious.

He had it taken care of after he bought it I believe.

I've had that TSB done. The dealership repainted the back doors and the rocker panels and applied a 3M clear bra to the lower 1/3 of the door and the flair on the rocker panels.

 

It's just too bad they did a shitty job wet sanding. I still need to fix that.

Do you visit Rooster's in Grove City frequently??? I see a black SS there everytime I'm there.

 

BTW-just had the TSB done a couple weeks ago...not a good as it could've been. And they forgot to put my badges back on the side. I got 1/2 my SS repainted though.

I love the SS, it looks badaSS. I was thinking about getting one next year.

 

I love mine, But I swear as TBSS owners we pay for GM's terrible designs, small things always happening, seems like i am at the shop more then I actually drive it for somthing stupid. But like i said I still love it
