Thanks very much for the detailed response. I only wish that I was the original owner of my car. Can't believe the location and quantity of dirt and grime. It may take some time, but I'm doing my best to make it as presentable as yours!
Thanks again.

So true ToqueWet or dry I close it from the black weather strip at bottom of window. This way no fingerprints on paint and no loosening of window over time by repeatedly pushing on it (taught to me by another Vette owner). Hey, I figure we could have a lot worse afflictions than being nutty about our Vettes.
Enjoy the journey.
I use my left knee !
