Cleaning Inside Windsheild
As a new Corvette owner, I am finding some problems with detailing that I am sure many of you have solved long ago. I would appreciate any advice tou may have for:
1) Cleanig the vinyl protectant off of the inside of the windsheild in the tight areas at the bottom.
2) Keeping the wheels clean, particulary the back sides--hard to reach without removing the wheels. Does it help to wax them or use another type of sealer? I have the stock low sheen spit spoke wheels that come with the 2008 base 2LT package

Congrats on the new car! So, to answer your questions.....
1. I bought the Diamondite Perfect Vision Glass Master Bundle from Autogeek. I wanted the extra bonnets and I was placing a large order any way. Or you pick the same tool up at O'Reilly Auto Parts made my Stoner for about the same money. Or, you could wrap a microfiber towel around a spatula or paint stir stick and secure it with a rubber band.
2. I bought a cone-shaped brush with very soft bristles from AutoZone that will actually fit in between the front caliper and the wheel and it will reach to the back of the rim. Autogeek sells one that does the same thing. To seal the wheels you can pick the product of your choice - Rejex, JetSeal, Wheel Wax, FK-1000, one of the Zaino products (not sure which one - someone will chime in) - whichever one works best for your needs.
Good luck!
