Default How do you clean your car?

How do you clean your corvette? What do you use? What wax do you use, and how do you apply it? :cool:

Zaino products, no wax. I'm sure most here will agree.

Leave it in the rain. Then air dry it with my leaf blower.

Scott, if you will search active threads and archives, I'm sure you'll find lots of good, specific advice on this topic.

My feeling has always been that you use wax on bad paint and polish or glaze on good paint. So, I wouldn't put wax on a new ZO6.

I use Zaino products, but it's a matter of personal preference. Lots of folks here also like Mequires, for instance. I used it for years with good results.
