Gone but not forgotten
Richard Newton, in the August issue of Cars & Parts Corvette magazine, has some excellent advice to offer in regards the care and detailing of your Corvette.
I won't give away what he means by "Breaking away from the old standby." You'll have to discover that for yourself.
He goes on to discuss interior areas, carpet and leather, as well as the tires.
I'm not going to plagerize the entire article here, and their web site doesn't have this information online as of yet, so you'll have to buy the magazine to see the full article. Sorry.
Oh, I almost forgot. He mentions the fact that Zymöl is the only company that tells you how much carnauba you're actually getting in a product. He states that their Atlantique Glaze contains sixty-percent Brazillian #1 white carnauba.
He wouldn't get into the fact that an eight-ounce bottle of Atlantique costs more than $800, which is cheap when compared to the Zymöl Vintage, which costs more than$1600. But that's for a twenty-ounce container. :L
Soap: This one is really easy. Go down to your local discount auto parts store and buy any car soap in the largest container they have. Look for the one with the cheapest price.
Detailing Clay: I've tried a half-dozen different clays over the past several years and found that Clay Magic is still the best. The only thing that has come close is Take Off Clay, which I get from a professional detail shop. Detailing clay is actually a plasticine matrix with an abrasive mixed throughout. It was designed to abrade (read: remove) overspray.
Wax: This is where I've broken from the old standby.
Wheels: The best wheel cleaner is the least agressive product you can locate.
