I received a PM yesterday that included a "supposed" link to the Car Care section of this forum regarding Pinnacle wax. I noticed the sender was new with zero posts so I deleted it.
Here's a thread concerning it starting with post #6 - https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...he-change.html

I got the same thing last night, looked at the message but didn't go any farther. I did look for that name on members list and it wasn't there.

I received one from abrefomar1980 with the message Hi! Dude read this and left a link. I checked and he just joined but no posts. The moderators should beware of these since they seem to be using multiple names.

Mine was from nifosiswell1973. Unfortunately, I opened it. It was the burning 1970 Vette. I am so pissed at myself. I should have known better. So far, not damage. I'll let you guys know.
