Vette(s): Used to own a 1979 Corvette now owned by JB79

With so much time at home right now, many people are giving their Corvettes some extra love and attention.

So, we're curious... what cleaning products do you use on your Corvette? Do you swear by them and only use those brands?

Any special tips you have to share about cleaning your Corvette "the right way"?

One thing we can tell you for sure: Don't be this guy!

Vette(s): 2013 Corvette Convertible Night Race Blue with 3LT Ebony interior

I usually wash using Croftgate waterless wash and several other products of that line for detailer/quick shine, and Topcoat F11 for a waxless wax. Sometimes after the waterless wash, I will use a Maguire's clay product, use a polish applied with a DA orbital polisher, and then finish with the Topcoat. My car is garaged and does not get driven in any precipitation or salty conditions. It has been over a year since the last time that I applied Topcoat F11. The Topcoat F11 is very durable despite some of the counter advertising.

Vette(s): 1972 LT-1 corvette coupe 350/255hp Elkhart Green Saddle Tan Interior
My 1972 corvette completed a full restoration at A&R corvette in Patterson, NY. In 2005.
At that time, I was looking for products I could use to keep it looking “Fresh”, after some good reviews, I decided to go with Zaino Brothers line of car car products, at first it was a little complicated to know which product to use and when to use it, but I figured it out and was quite pleased with the results.
I realize that in the 20 years since then, there have been new products that have come on the scene that promise to give you a brilliant shine, things like graphene and other newfangled products. I chose to stay with the Zaino and am still happy with the way the car turns out when I do my normal cleaning routine. If I can load this video, you’ll see what I mean.



Regards
Roy
