    Wax ?

    I'm using Mothers "Cleaner Wax" and while I am satisfied with it I am wondering if there are better products available. What do you use and how do you like it? How about Meguiars NXT wax ? Is it worth $16 or should I better stick with Mothers ?

    67 miles and I made it home

    My wife and I drove the Corvette yesterday on New Yers Day. I just replaced the brakes with this forum's support and yesterday we enjoyed the ride on a 67 mile "cruise". It was great. We had other Corvette drivers wave at us, I noticed the so late I did not get a chance to wave back. I hope...
