Ceramic coating
Just thought i would mention that i had my black C7 coated 6 month ago and it is really fantastic. I havent needed to wash it in 3 weeks. And when it rains, its like a car wash! A little pricy but highly recommended.

For not having been washed in 3 weeks plus being a black car, your ride looks great. Quite the shine.

Hi Gary, you need a 2 step process as first the vett needs to have a paint correction to remove all swrill marks and scratchs, then the coating. Its quite a project and takes a few days esp the paint correction. I would not recommend doing it your self. This is a professional service only. Costs about $3,500 including the paint correction.

Ceramic great if you don't have the time or ability to maintain a waxed car

Budget has used more coatings to test than most anyone. Usually (ok always) followed up with amuse/ experience write up to match any. So heed the advice.. Another fantastic easy to apply wet glass coating is Feynlabs Lite. Consumer version. They dont advertise much if at all but they make their own and their lineup is very impressive
