Hi everyone

I like to know what is the best paint protection product that I can use for the corvette.

I declined the dealers paint protection option, since in prior cars that I purchased it, it didn't seem to do the job for the price.

I like your opinions on what I should do.

thank-you

3M clear bra and a good installer is the best paint protection. Rejex is excellent for day to day protection.

I used this stuff in back of my wheel wells & on the side view mirrors.

After that its Rejex, its #1 IMO, You can order it from Forum Supporter X-Autoproducts. Barry offers great service.

Just do the Zaino thing and you will be happy!!

I did the "Zaino Experience" and it does work fine...if you've got the time!! Recently did "Rejex" and I'll tell you, you save about 2-3 days of work and you can drive your car and show it off more!!

What your dealer offers is a paint sealant, for which their are many choices, needless to say you can purchase and put your own on for many $$$ less and reapply when needed. Here is a list of them, all offered with forum special. My favs for ease of use and great success Four Star UPP, Wolfgang Concours, DP Shield Shine, and Klasse AIO. Just remember all but Klasse AIO are last stage products and only protect/seal the paint. You mush clean and prep the paint first to make sure clean and pristine.

I didn't start this post but my radar has been high, looking for the right product for paint protection. Live in FL and love-bugs pretty much ruin most of my car's front ends - unless there is a bra in place. Wasn't sure I wanted a Bra on the new Vette, so been wiping down the front end after every drive.

Seen lot's of good reviews on the Rejex product - anyone have any concerns with it? I always worry about the heat in FL and what happens without a good coat of wax.

It's so much more fun to take the risk and ask a stupid question I guess :o

Actually I did "search" the forum and of course found alot of hits. I read through a bunch of them, but never really saw one that said pros/cons, especially in hot humid bug weather. Just looking for some balance. Didn't realize the horse was already dead when I started beating it.

No worries. There are no stupid questions, just a lot of the same. We're all friends on the forum and you have the right to ask. I just love that graphic.

Half the crowd are Rejex heads, the other are Zaino's. Rejex is cheaper and easier to apply and will be fine for your needs. However, I'm now a Zaino head, also live in Florida and love the stuff. Both are good products. Good luck in your search.

Rejex is fantastic... was at a car gathering and got many many comments including... 'your car looks like liquid and you could reach right into the paint...' Also just had 3M clear bra installed...after removing one that was install poorly... went to a shop in Northern Virginia that does the local Ferrari dealership's cars... 3M has released a new improved version of their material and the shop I went to has it...only a few of the top rated shops have it right now... all I can say is .. I have seen MANY clear bra systems of many of the 3M product and new new version is amazing... it eliminates the orange peel that clear bras have... it is also a smooth as paint.

I have had the 3M plastic on since I got the Vette. 10,000 miles ago. I will tell you it was expensive but I am thrilled with it! I have had a windshield replaced because of a stone from a truck. It did bounce off the protected part of the nose and all is well there. Not bad stuff marvin...

I've seen this new 3m film, and it is slightly better than the ones from before. But the orange peel on it is still quite unbareable, and it's still not quite as clear as some of the others I've seen.

i heard the clear bra was good i dont have it yet

With Rejex its a pain in the butt to put on a car cover. Rejex makes your car slippery as hell.

I to live in South Florida and would like to have the rejex question answered. It is not a dead horse. I enjoy reading the forum but I have a life outside it.

Have my C6 for just over 1 year. I have been using NXT. Great stuff. Recently I tried Rejex,similiar to NXT, except that it does not act as a magnet for dust and dirt. I'm sure Zaino is a great product, but you got to try Rejex. On the almost polished wheels and the stern of the C6, it seems to reject dust and dirt. Rejex is as easy to use as NXT. Hovever, you must not expose the car to sun or rain for 12 hours after application.
