Hello to all, I just found this site and I thought I would jump right in, I'm on my third corvette, I just got a 1999 convertible red metallic with the black top ,she's a cream puff, she has every option except HUD, my question is since I have never owned a convertible in my life is can I put scotch guard on the top, I love this car!!!!.

Welcome. I'm a new member too. I recently bought an 04 mag red vert. Love it. Check out the Corvette Museum Store. They have a top cleaner and waterproof treatment that's supposed to be good.
