Wow! I am only using quick detailer when the luster needs refreshing. The paint is clear coated and really doesn't need much maintenance to look good. Save the money for the next new Corvette.

you can buy the product and put it on yourself for about $60 . They say its a nano coating.

You're getting a lot of conflicting information that is comparing apples to oranges. A quick wax/quick detailer will leave it looking good for a week. It will then wear off. The CQuartz is more permanent. As Glen said, you're paying to polish all the fine swirls/scratches out of the finish, then seal it in and add a harder than clear coat finish.
$600 is a fair price and was what I was quoted also for Opti-Coat. These products are far superior than what you buy at the local auto parts store, and will leave the vette looking great for years with just regular washing.

It's very easy to make claims, but they need to be supported by imperical testing.
Give us some numbers to compare.
