Default Cleaning the toy

I have done a lot of research on detailing the vette and must say I am more confused than ever. What products do you use? Had a nod for S100 since it never gets that dirty more dusty.

Car detailing products are like blond or brunet questions

Personally I use ONR and a dozen or so rags and follow with Adams detail spray with very very good microfiber cloths
But that's just one of a zillion possible choices

Probably best to ask in the paint forum or dare I say one of the detailing boards

There is a bunch to detailing. I find the CF discussion on car care products and procedures very knowledgeable. I learned great things on the Auotgeek web site too.

I use the Zaino line of products after clay bar and washing. I bought a buffer and really got into this stuff.

I usually use Meguiars wash and detailing spray. Once a year or so, I use a clay bar with the detailing spray and relax with Pro W-41 Yellow Paste Wax.

The Pro W-41 is amazing. It is 100% pure carnauba with no cleaners or abrasives (hence the use of the clay bar before hand). You can wax the whole car and it still comes off easily with a simple buff even in direct sunlight. I used it on my black 308 and it was amazing. A little harder on the yellow Corvette since the wax is yellow so hard to see. But worth it.
