I wax my car every three months (I park indoors and wash it once a week), but I get the car professionally detailed once a year. If I were you, I'd spend the cash and leave it to the pros...

Follow the process by Autogeek and you will be fine, the Rejex will last at least 6 months.

Color
Did you mention the color of your vette? Over the years, I have discovered that differentr color cars react differently to some polish's...would like to know your car color to give you any advice. I know, some will say, this guy is nuts, but trust me, after some forty years of doing this detailing thing on boats, cars and planes, think I have some, well yhou know..

I love 1st Eagle Gel Wax and so does Car Craft Mag. 1st Eagle used nano technology to make the carnuba molecules smaller to fill in scratches better. No drying time, apply and immediately wipe off. You can layer immediately per their tech support. Its 21st century technology and only $10!

I follow the Autogeeks formula, they got me started. The day after I have sealed the Vette I follow up with Wolfgang Fuzion Wax for a awesome shine, it goes on and off in 30 minutes and then I do this every month or so

Just do what the "GeeK" sez and you will be in great shape.
I have a black C-6 and have become quite proficient at detailing. It just depends on how much time you are willing to spend and what the level of results you are after.

In respect to all that have replied, THANKS!
I think there is a difference between filling in the cracks or polishing the clear? When is it time to take the clear down. Maybe when the filler isn't working???
