CORVETTE
CAR CARE
There are loads of other products out there, and your choice is up to you, but
these are the ones we use and we’re happy with.
When you're washing your Vette, using a soft blade to whisk away the water
after rinsing is a quick way to promote drying and to save some effort over towel
drying the whole car. The ChamEasy (not to be confused with that other chammy
thing you see on TV) from www.chammyman.com is great water whisker and you
can even get it with the Corvette name and crossed-flags logo on it if you prefer.
The Absorber from CleanTools (www.cleantools.net) is a terrific chammy-like
cloth for drying but it is not a leather chamois, nor is it a terry cloth towel. The
Absorber® is made of a unique material called PVA (Poly Vinyl Alcohol) that's very
soft and extremely thirsty. There are some areas of every Corvette that a blade
water whisker can't or won't work effectively on, and that's where the Absorber really
shines (pardon the pun), or you can use it to dry the whole car.
The CleanTools folks also make The Glosser which is fantastic for removing
surface dirt and bringing up the shine on your 'Vette by simply wiping it down with
these disposable cloths. The re-sealable package keeps The Glosser cloths moist
and ready for use, and the pack fits easily into your glove box so you can take them
with you to car shows, cruise nights or on the road.
Ibiz (www.ibiz-inc.com) automotive products have been staples of car care for
us even since we were introduced to them back in 1995 when we got our street rod,
and we've been faithful users of them ever since. Ibiz Sheen is superb for cleaning
your Corvettes leather and/or vinyl interior. Available in large and 'travel size' bottles,
it's something that every detail kit is incomplete without.
