What are you guys using to detail your black Vette's? I used Zainos but I hate waiting a week or two for delivery. Lately I have been using Meguiars but it looks like it is leaving a coat of oil/film. I am looking for something that dries clear.

I use a product from Chemical Guys, but if you're looking to get something from the store right away, this works better than Meguiars for me.

Turtle Wax - ICE Spray Detailer

Gary was giving me some tips on polishing the last time at the Barn. I should have asked what he uses for detailer spray. You are probably right, probably Adams, his Vette looks great so it is working. Looks like I need to make another trip to the Barn soon for some more training.

I use Zaino on the exterior..Wendy, on the interior I use a 3M [I think] product that has UV protection. on the seats I use a leather cleaner product. I found a marine spray that works good for the engine at Napa.
