Bro your car is begging for a cowl hood. There used to be a gold camaro which is also rare with a cowl that looked great.

Not sure if anyone has heard of this, or used it. My dad swears by it, especially down in Florida during "Love bug" season.

i have thought about it but spending $ on a hood plus paint isn't a smart idea.
Plus, I don't want some ill fitting fiberglass turd hood.

a mild 2" cowl would look nice but I've only seen 4"?

never heard of it.
if a vehicle has a decent wax or sealant applied, bugs should come off using a bug and tar sponge.

This showed up today. Maybe I wash iroc. I really need to get this thing buffed again. Swirls are insane and any wax/ceramic spray isn't sticking well

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

bruh, that unit is not going to do much.....

 

[Yaj Yak]

this would be more productive/efficient.

VFN (local company) makes some solid fiberglass hoods. In my experience and seeing friends hoods, fitment is spot on. Not sure if they make a 2" though

You spelled "250 shot of nitrous" wrong.

I'm liking that nanolex stuff more with each vid you do.

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

it's not bad. Not sure how long it lasts but one thing I mentioned in the description.... You definitely want to rinse it immediately.

I did notice some "streaky" like shadows on the driver side. a MF applicator and some blackfire one step removed them but if an entire vehicle was affected then, YIKES

I am not sure if a wash would remove them. I put this in the description of the video but based on comments and questions on other videos, I don't think the individuals viewing my videos read it

So my psi washer gun says it's a 3/8s female fitting. But my tool daily foam gun is a 1/4 quick connect. I couldn't find a 3/8s male adapter to 1/4 quick. So I ordered the m22 to 1/4 quick connect... Not sure if it'll work, any in site?

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

if you are changing the female connection on the gun itself, then yes, you would want the 1/4" quick disconnect.
but
you mentioned the M22 to 1/4", usually the M22 refers to the thread size....i think....

After I rinse my truck, I use an ego blower to remove most of the water.
This is followed up with bead maker and this towel:

On other vehicles, this towel is pretty absorbent:
