Try something later

After the show, wash her down and try a little Rejex over your current wax. I have a black FRC and did the 4 step McGuires and she looked great, then I did a light coat of Rejex and was amazed at the depth of the shine the Rejex added. They sell it at True Value. Car looks great!

Man! My hats off to you black cars (read too much maintenance for me) That is VERY black. Looks like patton leather. I'd give you Best Paint tomorrow if it were me. Shine on you crazy diamond (Pink Floyd) Good luck.

Really nice,,what exactly did you do what waxes were used? I too have a black vette. They are the the best when all shined up. How well did you do at the show?

Headed to the show this morning. I started off by using 3M perfect-it III than went to 3M perfect-it III glaze than Zaino Show Car Polish and Meguiars Carnauba. It was a lot of work but the results are well worth it
