Here's a link to a CF posting that explains how to post pictures...probably similar to those in Lauri's PM to you. It's easy...good luck!

For the past 8 years I've used "der stuff" products exclusively for my cars interior, extreior, hoses, belts, tires, windows, etc. http://www.der-realstuff.com/StoreFront.bok
My son-in-law introduced me to it. He had used it on his show cars, award winning Harley for polishing mirrors, windows, granite counter tops and about anything else you want to shine and resist water spots.
I know many Vette owners have their own favorite brands, but I'm lazy and these products are the easiest to use I've ever seen. Once I get a couple coats of the Super Gloss polish applied, all I need for the next 6 to 8 months is touch ups with "der mist stuff" when I want a deep shine for a show.
When I got my '89 it took me less than 3 hours to get the exterior treated using clay bar, der tuff stuff &, 2 coats of Super gloss...all without a buffer and breaking a sweat. Here's a picture of what it looked like when I finished
