After seeing the salt spray and the corroded exhaust tips on the winter driven Corvette on one of those Ont. winter C8 beater posts, I thought.... Sheesh... Mine has been under cover in the garage for almost five months now... I should take a look... Well... much to my surprise, my previously black C7 was coated in an odd Daytona Sunset Orange salt spray.... Damn. How did that calcium chloride pickle spray get into my shop and under my car cover... So upon further inspection, I was surprised at the obvious massive corrosion on my exhaust tips as well... I thought wow... only 6 years and my car looks like this?.... Maybe I should have invested in that new fangled seramac grafhatiity coating stuff.... This is what I saw when I pulled off the cover [ATTACH type="full" width="432px" alt="PXL_20210304_191708186.jpg"]78722[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" width="460px" alt="PXL_20210304_201930503.jpg"]78721[/ATTACH] So out came the wash bucket, rinse, Mequirars NXT Hydophobic wax and 3 hours later, I realized my Vette had always been Daytona Sunset Metallic Orange....
