Default Bug Off

Anyone care to comment about this product?

https://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?&SKU=12980

Or has anyone used a similar product on their C6?

I'm tempted to order the small bottle and try it out for a long road trip.

I have no problem with bug guts. They just rinse off my car. Two coats of Rejex and nothing sticks to it. Not bug guts, not bird droppings, etc.

Liquid Glass does a nice job Also, put on a few coats and nothing sticks to the paint (btw can is gold with a 60's red corvette on it). The wax is UV resistant, non yellowing, will bond to previous layers, and will protect against acid rain. Good stuff that I have used for years on every car I have owned including my C6. Found out about this wax from street rodders who ran the show circuit. It cost about $17.00 a can, its all chemicals, and is a breeze tp put on / take off.

I think their "Bug Off' sounds pretty good. I may want to give it a try.

Tried it on my wife, does not work. I am staying with the Rejex, she leaves me alone. As a solution to when she is IN the car, I have BULLETS.

Any wax will work just fine. A little spit and a microfiber cloth to finish the bugger off.

PEP Boys carries this wax and on a few occasions I have found it at Auto Zone. This is bar non the best wax I have ever used and I have tried just about all of them including the high dollar stuff. Liquid Glass provided the long term durability I was looking for compared to the other waxes I have used and does protect against things a Carnuba based wax cannot. If you do give it a try, please let me know what you think.
P.S. This should help http://www.liquidglass.com/retailers.htm
