That looks like a great package of tools and products. I don't think you'll need anything else. The key will be learning to use the contents correctly.

Holler when you get it and have questions. The AG folks will always jump in with answers.

The best thing you could do is demand the dealer ship NOT to "detail" it before they give it too you. From what I've read corvettes and known for having a very hard clear coat. What that mean you say........It's going to be a major pain to remove swirls with a pc, a rotory works better in skilled hands not for a novice. To save you some grief demand the car not to touched and to have all the factory plastic wrapping and you remove it later and wash it properly. Good luck
