+1 on the ceramic treatment. Switched a couple years ago and never looked back at wax again.

Raphael I recall my C3 brakes really giving me a fit. They were all replaced with stainless and I recall using the GM recommended special brake fluid. One other thing in the 70’s it was a performance car until the gov’t mandates reduced the HP and they had them all sport 15 MPH crash proof numbers. Yours pre-dates these “improvements.”
The C3 Vette is an icon and yours looks really sharp.
I’ve given up on wax products and now I am using ceramic coating which is simple to apply and lasts 10x longer with more protection. I just did a Tahoe which is like swabbing the deck of an aircraft carrier but the wash, clay bar and ceramic coat only took a little over 2 hours.

Ken, George,
Thanks! I waxed three cars recently with a recently purchased large buffer, The RAM first with a high quality wax, it was a lot of work, ran out of wax and the local little shop only had Maquila's ceramic, so I bought with some hesitation. The C3 and a Kia people mover were done with the ceramic, I was surprised as to how easy that was, and it does not stain plastic trim. Glad to hear of your positive opinions about it.
For the C3 I did use stainless clad calipers and had the system fill with silicone DOT 5 fluid which prevents corrosion, the car is not driven hard.
