New Texas C5
Hello! Me wife and I bought our second C5 last week. It's a 2004 Commemorative Coupe with a bit less than 12,000 miles. It's completely stock and looks brand new. The paint has a few swirls and scratches though. I haven't run a forum search yet, but is there a good place to find info on polishing the paint without causing damage? I have found plenty of sites on maintaining perfect paint but not much detailed info on polishing.
We plan on showing it some but it is my wife's driver. Thanks!
