Default Spring Cleaning, Corvette Style...
Weather wasn't the best, but for the most part it was in the low 60's and cloudy, threatening rain, but no rain, but ideal for cleaning the Corvette after it has been resting most of the winter. No direct sunlight.

Started out with wash, and polish everything on the outside, and complete detail on the inside.

I use Pinnacle Souver‰n™ Carnauba Paste Wax, expensive, but great results, and finish it with Pinnacle Crystal Mist Carnauba Detail Spray, use Zanio Glass Cleaner, and Zanio rubber/plastic protection. Tires I use Lucas.

Took about 9 hours, but here are the results....







Can't wait to get it dirty again...

Love the great look, but so glad I drive mine too much to spend 9 hours on it cleaning it.
