Default Spring Clean Up

I will be atending a large Corvette show this Saturday, so I have spent the last few days getting the old girl ready. Came out pretty good. Wash, (no clay as I did that a month ago), Adams Paint Finishing Polish, Adams Brillent Glaze and finally a top coat of Adams Americana Wax. Dressed the trim with Adams VRT and the interior with Adams Leather Cleaner and followed with his Leather Conditioner.

Thanks, but I am not in it for the trophy, but to just have a good time. But if I take it to a show it will be at its best.

It was already done when I bought the car. Sorry, but I have heard the GM Parts house cane set you up and also RPI Design I have heard good things on there parts for the wide body. I have bought other items painted to match from RPI and they were spot on.
