2023 Camaro Zl1 gets its first wash, clay bar and polish. Full detail with minimal talking. Brand new ZL1 with only 500 miles. Red hot #camarozl1 #zl1 #camaro #camaross1le #2023Camaro
That was super satisfying. You got every nook and cranny. I had a few rock chips on both of my Camaros. The paint is so cheap so I highly recommend PPF. I have no experience with ceramic coating. Great video!
@@Hot-1LESweet ZL1. I'm getting same car with 10 speed Auto. I'm old and can't shift gears as fast as I could in my fix body 5.0 from 30 years ago. LOL
couple tips to speed things up in the future if you do all this again. Get yourself a perforated decon towel from either The Rag company, DIY Detail or optimum. They are so much faster, will last 40-50 cars and if you drop it just rinse off and its not garbage like regular clay. Plus they will not mar or scratch the paint like regular clay can. Next get some polish that is trim safe. Like Optimum hyper spray polish or DIY gold standard. no tape needed and can be used to polish your trim so you can save time on that.
I wrapped my 1LE from New and would do it again, the self healing aspect is great! Xpel Ultimate with 10 year warranty on application...FactorAutoFilm in Kelowna BC Canada
@@Hot-1LE I had the whole front clip done, including the doors haha best choice ever...door dings lol It wasnt cheap by any means but after four years now and counting, people think I just bought the car!
@@Hot-1LE Stek is the best film on the market. Expel has too much orange peel “tends to yellow”. Just look into it, you won’t regret it. Everyone in Dallas does expel “great marketing”. I believe their margins are much better with expel. Stek is the most expensive film on the market but when you do your research… it’s well worth the extra few bucks.
You secretly a blood aren't you Superman? Red cars, red golf cart, red handle on the hose 👀 lol awesome video bro you got that car looking better than show room quality!
Red is not my favorite color, but that car looks fantastic when it is that clean. Great job on the polishing. I'll tell you what man, I have started using Turtle Wax / Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating after a polish and I love it. Works good on paint or PPF. It's as easy as a spray wax to put on, but lasts 10x as long at least, and the car glows the next day. Dust and bugs don't seem to stick anymore. I'm sure it's not as good as a professional product, but at $14 a bottle, it is super cheap and one bottle does about 6 cars. Love your Camaro; cheers!
Thank you man! Ya that turrtle wax ceramic spray is actually pretty darn good haha i been using that for a while. There is a very easy to use ceramic spray that will last over a year. "Gyeon Can Coat" that i use here. Its worth the money but i still use the turtle wax product on lots of stuff. Appreciate the positive words man!
Thank you so much! I got a thing for red on these cars no other color does it for me haha you can really use any detail spray and microfiber. Let it soak it a bit and lightly remove it. I use a waterless wash/detail spray from Ultima as my go to.
Red hot really pops on the zl1 just one question are zl1’s suppose to have hood liners or not because I know that some 23’s where produced without them due to “shortages” but are suppose to be retro fitted
Hey man, I have a 21 1ss 1le. Having clutch chatter issues like you did. Mostly moving it around and pressing the pedal in at lower speeds. Also have some clunking under the car which other guys have been saying sway bar links.. car is still under warranty, any advice for taking it to dealer/ or if I should just go to a trusted independent shop. Want to buy the car lease is up in December but not sure how to go about this. Thanks, and congrats on the upgrade!
Hey bro. End links might just need the bolt tightened. That was a thing for a short minute on like the 18/19s but can happen anytime. Might be an easy fix. For the clutch id honestly say just drive it till you need a new one and just up the rpm on your take offs to avoid feeling it. I know it sucks but the dealerships in my experience wont do a thing and may even make it worse. Especially now the car is technically 2/3 years old. A new clutch setup with everything is close to 4k installed. Itll be worth it when its done. So maybe while you save up just enjoy the beast.
@@Hot-1LE thanks brother, I plan to keep the car N/A for its whole life so I don’t think I’ll ever need a clutch to handle more power. So I’ll probably do just that, but I honestly don’t think I’ll ever put enough miles on it to replace lol. Dealerships now are filled with a bunch of kids that don’t really seem to care about the job anymore so id rather them not start taking things apart and potentially making it worse like you said. I work at a detail shop and there’s a mechanic around the corner my family has been using for over 30 years, gonna have him drive it on Monday and see if it’s even worth bringing into dealer. Good luck with the new car, it’s beautiful!
Danm, man, why did you do this to me? . Now, I want to sell my cammed SS 1LE for one zl1. Serious question, do you think I should do it ? Buy an auto ZL1 and sell a manual cammed SS
Well I will never tell anyone to get an automatic. Like ever. Haha. So if thats the option then no. 1le to ZL1 manual yes. Cammed 1le mmmm idk. I can tell you though I am in complete love with this car and its exceeded every single expectation I had.
@@Hot-1LE Me as well. Elite Clear Bra in HB came highly recommended. Please let me know if you have any places in the OC area you might recommend? Thanks
Gotta check them out. I was referred to wicked auto detailing in santa ana from a fellow ZL1 owner. From what I seen they do some high end cars and good work.
@@Hot-1LE speak of the devil, I was just texting Anthony from there so we can discuss options. I was going to swing by and check out the place in person. He said there's another 1LE getting done soon.
A lil intro to the car up close for you all. You all think PPF is worth it on this?
YES!
100% the peace of mind is well worth the cost, especially once you start tracking and road tripping it.
100%
At least the bumper for sure.
Highly recommend PPFing the Front Bumper, Side Mirrors, Side Rockers (infront/behind tires). After that, it's all preference & wallet size.
mans upgrading every time I check his account😭
🤣🤣 im done i promise hahaha
That was super satisfying. You got every nook and cranny. I had a few rock chips on both of my Camaros. The paint is so cheap so I highly recommend PPF. I have no experience with ceramic coating. Great video!
Thank you que! Always a pleasure when you stop by on my vids bro.

Thanks for the tips bro! I totally forgot about the spray polish I been meaning to try that. Much appreciated
i love this video.. i let mine set outside for a year and the wax is baked into the paint... i have to do this..
Thank you man! A quick polish can really fix so much.
Congratulations on your new ZL1, are you close to getting your break in miles over with?
Almost. Im over 500 so can do some pulls. But got a little to go before i can track and canyon it. So trying to get them on quickly
probably the best youtube video of all time ngl
Ppf definitely needed bro don’t procrastinate on it
Don't let that Tesla get too close.
😅 Ive driven it a few times and tbh do not care at all for it.
whats different about the 23Z and a 16 ZL1? besides taillights
Besides the tails they fixed the oil pump thing. And infotainment center change that all the other cars got.
Nice video !
Bro what is the factory color of your camaro?
"Red Hot"
Beauty. I put my name down for a 2024, in the same colour. I hope I get it!

Thanks man. Did you do the whole car just front end?
@@Hot-1LE I had the whole front clip done, including the doors haha best choice ever...door dings lol It wasnt cheap by any means but after four years now and counting, people think I just bought the car!
Man i guess thats worth it! I got a quote but got the sticker shock haha. Ill put it under my insurance policy just in case. Appreciate the feedback.

🤣🤣 Red is my thing man hahaha the golf kart needs a polish haha. Appreciate you bro. Congrats on your cars.
She's a beauty, best of luck with her. A suggestion if I may, A foam cannon set-up would make your washes even more enjoyable.
Totally agree. I miss having one haha
Oh yeah I’m so excited
...And then your pads binded to the rotors the next day. These BCD brakes are ve-e-e-e-ry aggressive.
Haha yeah i loveee them

The love going to that car. Very lucky Zl1 to have an owner like you bro. Mine probably hates me 😂
😂😂 you do the 1le justice bro! Cant wait to get them together this summer
Really nice upgrade to the ZL1. Like the way you kept the same colors as your 2SS. What do you use to get bird droppings off your car?
Thank you so much! I got a thing for red on these cars no other color does it for me haha you can really use any detail spray and microfiber. Let it soak it a bit and lightly remove it. I use a waterless wash/detail spray from Ultima as my go to.
Red hot really pops on the zl1 just one question are zl1’s suppose to have hood liners or not because I know that some 23’s where produced without them due to “shortages” but are suppose to be retro fitted
Good q. The zl1s dont have the hood liners like the SS and down do
Haha, good job. Looks great! You're doing my car next, right?
😂 line it up!
