Hello everyone....i was at the dealership (the one i work at) and i got to meet the guy who delivers our supplies...he knows how to get a car to shine...great guy knows a lot about products....he knows about my corvette and how much i baby it...so i was asking him about fine scratches that ive gotten onto the car with the sponge etc...swirls!!!....he said a lot of corvette owners use PLEDGE!!!! the house hold dusting solution...he said it works great on corvettes because they are fiberglass...he said it fills up the tiny scratches great and your left with a awesome shine!!! haven't tried it yet but i will give it a shot!! just thought id let you guys know so you guys can also try it

 

Let us know what your car looks like a week after you apply it...

 

i thought the c5 were not made out of fiberglass, there are lots of good products out there that work for everyone

 

it is more like like plastic.The next problem I have is,what difference does it make what it is made out of-the paint is the same and if the scratches are so deep that it is past the paint,then I don't think pledge is going to help.....
I am not trying to knock it or anything,it might work.Keep us posted

 

Regardless of the body material, remember that it is still painted and you are treating the paint and clearcoat not the "fiberglass"! I use Meguiar's products and recently attended one of their free all day Saturday detailing classes in Irvine, CA at their corp. headquarters. They have them at other locations around the country if you check their website.

Check out www.meguairsonline.com and sign up in their detailing forum. It's similar to our CorvetteForum as to how it works. A super place for care car information.

www.autogeek.com and www.bettercarcare are other good sites to learn.
Good luck,

 

Would that be Lemon...or Unscented?

 

have fun with the pledge ...

 

Might be something for those last minute car show touchups. Let us know how it works.

 

That's exactly what Pledge is used for (concourse car shows) but it will give you 'wet-look gloss', what it will not provide is protection (one rain shower and its gone)

12stepvette-Lemon Plege is better as the citrus helps with bonding

Dumb question...What are the c6's made of, fiberglass or metal?

 

Here's some great car care tips....

Wot no Pledge?

 

the c5 is like composite plastic, im pretty sure the c6 is as well, i know that the c5 are not made of fiberglass

 

 

It'll make your car pop!
