If you don't like giving your Vette the personal TLC it deserves, buy a
Hyundai!

just a little info
Take it from a consumer who paid for it and wishes he had kept his money. The manager of the Ziebart store I frequented said the treatment was almost "bulletproof" and swirling would be nonexistent. Mine was applied two years ago and I took my vette back a couple of times to "even out the application" before giving up. I find that my own waxing is much better than what I was led to expect from them.

A fine example of why someone should actually get the thread's gist before posting It would have helped if you actually read what the thread is about before blindly adding a post to your total

I've sold paint sealants and such for many years. Your best bet for a great looking car is to invest your money in a quality product, such as Zaino and do the work yourself. You'll be way more impressed with the results and proud to have done it on your own!

Save a bunch of money and put on a good coat of wax yourself. It's all just advertizing hype.
