You might try the Car Care Section.

Not an idiot, just new to the forum. There's lots information and lots of places to put it on the forum. Believe it or not, I think I have seen threads about car care on the C5 general as well in Car Care. CC is the better place to go though.

I hope you are enjoying your vette and the time you spend on the forum.

Clearly you haven't seen some of my posts. No such thing as a stupid question around here. The Car Care Forum is great. Lots of exertise. You have a number of good options out there to chose from in terms of car care products and the group over there knows all the pros and cons. Also, just an FYI there are other valuable Forums including one for Audio/Electronic, Tires/Wheels, etc.

Welcome aboard.

As long as the wax says it is clear coat safe, you should not have any problems. Most of the major brands out there today will be OK.
