Only "The chemical guys" products touch my cars. The Hybrid VO7 is the best spray on polish detailer I have ever used.

Chemical Guys is amazing! Butter Wet wax is the most insane wax i have ever applied. The finish on the paint is untouchable!

Okay, help out the new guy to "Chemical Guys". I've used nothing but Zaino so I have no clew where to begin with Chemical Guys. I looked on their web site and holy cow...tons of stuff. What do I need to get to prep the car when it arrives (clay bar), protect it and then keep it looking like glass? Thanks so much for the help and education.

You'll find a lot of relevant information in the General Corvette Topics/Car Care Discussion forum.

I started using surf city garage products last year and am very impressed. My buddy has a 2012 anniversary Z06 and when we did his car with the SCG products, his car has never looked so good...

I agree with the Blackfire....I go with Wolfgang polish..2 coats of Blackfire sealer for that candy like shine...then on top of that I apply 2 coats of Pinnacle Souveran paste wax that gives it the deep wet just painted look..this combo is what I found over the years of trying gave me the best results...I get compliments everywhere I go on the shine.
