Now here is my advanced search in the Car care and cleaning section of the forum where a thread on cleaning the windshield would get moved to. My results are mostly relevant.

Thanks for the second post. I guess the stars just aren't alligned right. Here's what a click on each link shows me "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms."

Wow, that is strange. It does the same for me now too. I guess I'm not helping much. Anyway, if you do a search on Windshield Cleaning in the Car Care section (scroll down the list to General Corvette Topics) and click on Archive there are a couple of good threads that will come up and they are even C6 specific.

Nice job.

I've found that because things get archived, and because time passes very quickly, that in addition to selecting the Archive threads, I have to use the "Find Post From" feature to specify "6 months ago" "and older" in order to get older results.
