by hand, the wax came with an applicator. I love the wax, very easy to apply. I love how you apply it to the whole car before rubbing off.

you really believe your entire car is made of American parts .....and I really don't know where you get off on this sentence "However, many people just don't have the same type of pride that I do!" you be stepping on lot's of toes with statements like that.

there are probably tons of parts on our vettes not made in the good ol USA... kinda like how Harleys say "assembled in usa" on them... not "made" ...almost ALL the parts arent made in the US.

i remember my 98 TA WS6 Blackbird was built in canada...

oh well....

I remember very well all the thumbs-up I received when driving my 68 (for 22 years), all the conversations of muscle cars, drive-ins, drags, etc, etc. The Corvette, Camaro, and Mustang changed the lives of many people and reminded us of why we pride ourselves in being called American. Like many of us, I also owned Japanese cars. In fact, I've owned four rotary engined cars but you know what? I never once had anyone stop me on the street to start a conversation about how they were so proud of their RX7 or Supra. Never. When driving cross-country in my 68, a truckload of Marines started cheering and waving, most with thumbs-up. Try to get that to happen with a Korean sportscar!

No, I have nothing against the Koreans or Japanese. I just feel that an icon that represents American ingenuity should never broadcast in huge letters, a Korean tire manufacturer.
It's kinda like buying replacement tail lights that have huge molded-in letters that spell out CHINA in plain view. Yeah, they could be much less expensive than the ones made in America, but you won't find them on my C5 - not now and not ever!
