Looking for advice
I just bought my first vette. It's a new '06 C6 Coupe with the 3LT package and polished aluminum rims. What are the best products to use to keep it looking new? Are there special washes or waxes you would recommend for the body? Rims?
Also, the 3LT package comes with a 7 speaker Bose sound system. It's decent enough but doesn't have much bass. Has anyone put a subwoofer in a C6? Does anyone sell a subwoofer that fits in a C6?

Whatever wax you use on the car body, use it on the polished wheels as well.
