New ‘vette owner in Phoenix
Hi everybody!
Not only am I new to this forum but I’m a new ‘vette owner. In December I bought my wife a 2019 Stingray 1LT (used of course) for Christmas. A Corvette has been her dream car since she was a little girl and we finally pulled the trigger on one.
Were finding out it’s quite different from the Camry it replaced but in a good way.
I need help with two issues but I’m not sure which forums to post in- I need to good place to have service done in the Phoenix area as I’m not into wrenching anymore, and I need help removing some faint water spots from the paint. I’ve tried vinegar but no help. I tried searching the forum but didn’t find anything helpful. (My search skills may be lacking)
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the Forum, Mark, to you and your wife! Great Christmas gift for her! 
Couple of suggestions. Post your request for info in the regional forum for you ( https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/southwest-44/ ), and also try Car Care and Paint areas in https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ette-topics-8/.
There are a lot of great Forum members in the Phoenix area that I am sure will be glad to help you.
Car show time there (think some are happening with "social distancing"). If so, you would probably run into Corvette owners there that can share info on detailers there.
Best wishes, and when it is nice an shiny, please post some pics.

Post up any repair issues in the C7 Tech/Performance section and for paint issues, there is a Car Care section - both have some very knowledgeable members there.
And welcome to the forum.
