Is it ok to use a product like "Instant Detail" spray on a Corvette's otherwise good finish?

yes, those products work best on a clean car that already has a good coat of wax

I agree Zaino is easy to apply (once you get the "other" stuff off) and works excellent.

Both a motorcycle and a Corvette guy, and have found Pro Honda to work exceptionally well on many things over the years. Read the label to the better half once:
Cleans paint, chrome, glass, and plastic; Protects vinyl, plastic, and rubber; Reduces fading and cracking; Repels water -- beads up like wax; Anti-static properties reduce dust attraction
