Any C6 owners out there????

[RPM06]

This question probably belongs on the corvette forum but I'd thought I'd try here first.

The butt-end of the car seems to get extra dirty really quick. I just put another coat of Souveran on my car last night, drove it to work, and sure enough the back end was dirty as can be. Any hints or tricks on how you all keep yours clean?

Last night's detail process:
Wash
Crystal Mist (because I have one coat of Souveran already)
WG Glaze
Souveran
Crystal Mist
FK 425 (First time trying. Interested in seeing how long it holds up)

Thanks all!

It's most likely from the airflow, Vipers have this issue as well, rear gets dirt/dust covering it almost immedietley. Though it pry applies to any car as even my suv can be totally squeeky clean for a couple days except for my rear tailgate and window which get covered in dust/dirt. Washes off easily, just annoying as white shows everything.

same here all the dust sits on top of the rear bumper.

never had a C5 or C6 with a clean hiney for long. Damn shame, as this is likely the only area everyone see's (my behind).

i was wondering ow long before you where gonna reply to this thread . Looks like carnauba on there is it? You keep the Vette super clean..

He washes twice a week and I am pretty sure he has Souveran on it. Just gives you another excuse to spend time with your car... so I guess learn to live with it or give it to me!!

my vette tail lights are the worst spot. Well and the little lip around the license plate.

Killr, you're much shorter than I expected.....how do you reach the pedals

Also, why does your plate say Killer Whale

My black C6 does the samething. I just wash and rewax with Souveran.

thats my driver "chris" .... they say its all in the weight savings. Since I am quite a husky guy, he does all my racing. Just wish I could get him to remove the Souveran from the lower spots ...my backs killing me.

Train him to get those "low" areas while he can!! Yeah, Danica ALMOST weighs as much as he does Isn't doing her much good though

I thought we might have to report you for using those protected by child labor laws as detailers.

:awesome: I'm old and I still crack myself up.












I live such a lonely life.

:iagree: Cute and sweet looking. He'll probably grow up to be the next Chip Foose with the dad he has.

Hasnt seen the back of a tow truck yet ... but it has been known to lose its top on more than one occasion.

And at what speeds does this happen?

Wait, I was always joking around with you about that, your Vette actually had that issue, since I know some C6 owners including a few Z owners had it happen

I am on my fourth top .... every 3 months like clockwork. Usually I catch it before the top goes really bad and lifts off completely. A formal safety recall is forthcoming.
