Finally, at 57 years old, I bought my first Vette, a C5 vert. Just waxed it with Rejex and it gleams.
Thanks to all for the tips and info you post. It's an amazing education!

Good choice for your first Vette. Welcome to the forum and I'd recommend you visit the various C5 sections of the forum - great info can be found there.
