New owner, overwhelmed with choices!
Hi all, I just brought home my very first Corvette yesterday, a victory red 2007 coupe! I have owned Jeep Wranglers up until now and lets just say I was never worried about the paint as it was usually destroyed in short order off-road. I want to take good care of my new car, but feel a bit overwhelmed by washing/waxing/etc.
I noticed my car has a "clear bra" installed on the front (very subtle, I almost didn't notice it!). Are there any special considerations for these?
Any noob advice is greatly appreciated! I can't believe I own this car... already planning on some new wheels and exhaust.

I only use foam glass cleaner on the clear film protected areas.

Autogeek, Griot's Garage and other supporting vendors here have a wealth of information and videos that are helpful. Do searches on the forum for questions you have. This forum is almost like a database of information. If your question is not answered after a search, post it. This car care discussion section gets specific questions but is not nearly widely read as some sections such as the general discussion areas for C5, C6, or C7, so sometimes it is better to post questions there. There are many many sections on the forum and you should peruse through the various sections at some time to see how all of the topics are categorized.
Lastly, welcome and enjoy. Remember to save the wave.
