Best cleaning/detailing products for C6

I completely agree with the Zaino testamonials, however, after using it for 10 years it is just too much work with all the layers and I switched to Gloss-IT after meeting the owner in las Vegas with the same, if not better results and much, much less efford. Everyone keeps asking about this product after seeing my car.

I think it really matters what you intend to use the car for. I havent used Zanio on mine but ive seen it and the results are amazing. That being said it is a show car shine (read: garage queen) and can be taken off with everyday chemicals ie Dawn. I use rejex as i drive mine in just about all conditions (snow is not fun).... the only way to get rejex off is to let it gradually wear off (up to 6 months depending on use) or mechanically polish it. For that my choice is rejex but im sure i would lose at a show to the zaino guys.

I FINALLY DID IT!!!! Drove my first Corvette into the garage last night. She is gorgeous. 2006 Monterey Red 3LT Z51 package with 29k mi.
I did not sleep a wink last night and ran downstairs to see her first thing this morning. So, I have a lot to learn, but can not wait.
What are the best cleaning/detailing products for my car? How often do wax? clean engine compartment? etc.? Or better yet, please share your cleaning checklist!
I am an open book...thanks in advance for your advice! I am so excited!

I just purchased C-Magic. Used at the Corvette Museum. Is easy to apply, looks great, and the interaction I had with C-Magic company, was extremely good. Best of luck to you with the new Vette. I have had mine for 3 months now and still get excited each and every time I see it, drive it, talk about it.

I have tried them all......I've been using C-Magic products for the last three years on my corvette. I'm very happy with the results and I recieve tons of comments about how deep the shine is!!!!!!!!
C-Magic is the only product the corvette museum uses on the corvettes inside the museum.
Good Luck!!!!

I like Wolfgang sealants and Pinnacle wax myself. I've been using it on my cars for a few years now and it really holds up well. The biggest factor is making sure you prep the car properly before using any wax or sealant

You don't know it, but after some forum advice, I began following your suggestions. So, I owe you thanks! Only question I have is do I need to order the z2PRO if I have a monterey red? From Zaino's online description, it says it is intended for lighter colored cars.
Here's my order:
Z-18 Z-18 ClayBar $16.95
Z-AIO Z-AIO All-in-one $26.95
ZFX ZFX Flash Cure Accelerator Additive $19.95

While most everyone talks about Zaino...and "Wolfie's" car really shines, I must say a word about "Satin Gloss". If you want a DEEP shine with very LITTLE work ....I highly recommend Satin Gloss. I have a BLACK Vert and I can wax it in less than 10 mins and the shine will compare with ANY other product on the market. I have started showing my Vert this year (small local shows) and have won 5 trophies so far. EVERYONE wants to know how I get my Vert to shine like it does. You can use it in the Sun and it leaves NO chalk in the cracks.

congrats feels good doesnt it. microfiber towels are the way to go, i use eagle nano, or zymol wax. Also use the absorber to dry my car off. Whatever you use, just be careful what you do to it. Dont rub hard at all when applying wax, polish or whatever.
