best products for detailing black Zr1 corvette

[FUNX650]

Sounds like GM has made it a tick more difficult for not only the owner, (average person),
to properly and safely detail their own car but even for professionals.

^^^Safely being the definitive word^^^(Thanks Mike )

Seems like GM could have applied more clear over the carbon fiber panels to
avoid the voids and thus remove any risk of compounds, polishes or waxes
penetrating into the fiber and leaving behind a stain.

^^^Especially with a vehicle that lists ~$118,000.00^^^

And how about using coatings that don't stain easily?

^^^There have been several Professional Detailers that have applied different
sealants/Coatings...with stated success...on the ZR1's carbon-fibered parts.^^^

Luckily there are now at least three new "black" waxes on the market to help out owners of these black Vettes...

I wonder how GM would know about this so far in advance.
(Unless one of their former paint-engineers was thinking along the lines of: "Black Box")

Just use a coating like OC 2.0 or Cquartz and be done with it.

Just read your Private Message,


The most important thing as it relates to the black Corvette you're working on is the prep work as this builds the foundation for the wax application. Perfect the finish first then a quality wax will be the finishing touch.

As for Fuzion?

There are quite a few products that work well with corvette’s clear coat but I’ve been using Menzerna’s Ceramiclear line for years now and I’m quite pleased with it.

If the kit came with the Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover and the Wolfgang Finishing Glaze, then together with the Flex 3401, good pads and good technique you can create a flawless finish on anything...
