The vette is already clean so I had to wash my office. I spend way note time here than the vette anyway. After being off for 13 days it was dirty.

After doing the stainless screw kit upgrade those bolts holding the front clip in place were nasty and rusted. Bought new stainless bolts/washers.

Love the Vararam. Bought it from a forum member.

Have you tried the Chadwick's? It looks like the truth!

Yes and I love Chadwick's, Neil is the man! I just ordered another gallon a couple weeks ago. Need to order some more of the no sling tire dressing now, his stuff is amazing.

It does but it's not. Have not used water to wash my car In 2 months and I've had the wonderful FL love bugs and rain to deal with. This is after Chadwicking in my garage a few weeks ago It's like a rig red mirror... This pic is NOT photoshopped in any way, that's my garage door and opener in the reflection.

I saw this online so I take no credit but here is how mine turned out. It's great for those of us with 2 tops or if you just want to leave the top at home. It's very secure and super cheap.

I spent $6 on 2 ladder hooks and $2 on a 2x3 board. I screwed the board to the studs in the wall. Drilled pilot holes for the hooks and screwed them in. The hooks have a rubber coating to prevent slippage. I have zero concerns about the top falling or getting scratched. I'll paint the board tomorrow to look a little better.

I have a silver gray C5, would this product give me a deep shine and where can I purchase this product. Is it a wax or polish and you mentioned you haven't washed your vet, how do you apply. Thanks

I LIKE IT...very Cool! Thats a great idea. I only have one top (for now) but mine is off probably 60% of time might be kinda cool to not have to lug it around with me if I didn't feel like it. and a hell of a lot cheaper and takes up less room than those targa top caddies i've seen advertised.
