Default more questions

This forum is the best thing since sliced bread. Answers at your fingertips from people who give a damn. Hard to find that sometimes in this world we live in. Oh yeah, questions. Whats the best "wax' to use for swirl marks and very light scratches? Next, since I live on a dirt road(about 1mile long) is there anything I can put on the underside of the door sill and back behind the rear tire to prevent chips? I have considered moving, but the 'Powers That Be"(ie-my wife) don't think moving for that reason is quite a good idea. I drive out at about 10mph but still pick up rocks. Any suggestions> Thanx

Don't ever say WAX :lol: . Zaino makes a good product that takes out the swirl marks. I'm sure you will hear about more in here though. Also check out the Mid America catalog on line for some of the clear plastic type material to put where the rocks etc kick up on your Vette. You will like it here. Glad to have you.

I would use Zaino Z5 in your case.
