Guys, thanks so much for the great response to this video, LOTS OF QUESTIONS about ceramic coating your car right away. I am not 100% versed in this to make a comment other than I know so many have done it and not had an issue. It seals the paint differently than the cover does, even with a coating, I would still wait even more so that 60+ days before using a cover as I did in today's video. Hope this helps you guys and again, I appreciate your continued support!

@dennishayes7370 2 года назад

Hi Rick, new subscriber here. First reply to your channel as well. I appreciate your detailed broadcasts! Q: How does the transportation cover correlate to the storage cover to the blemish defects that was mentioned? Seeing how the transportation cover goes on even sooner than a new owner would do with their garage cover. Also, do you have any detailed technical information on the overall quality of the paint system - wheels, tint coats, durability between colors? thanks!

@swfloridacarguy1987 5 лет назад

Great vlog Rick, nice to see you have picked up where Corvettes 918 (Chuck) left off with your tips. Thank you 🙏

@coreymitchell2756 5 лет назад

Informative as always, even when you're having fun. Thanks Rick👌👍

@TotalLifeVictoryTV 5 лет назад

Omg! SUPER PRACTICAL vlog. I had questions about those very items (cover & batt pack). NOT ANY MORE! Great vlog Rick! Hands down...you’re the best car vlogger out there...fun and informative! ~Barrington

@tomrietveld5976 5 лет назад

We just purchased our 1st Corvette (haven't even driven it home yet), but I'm starting to research about care tips. I found your channel, and I believe it will be a great deal of help for me. Thanks for all the super tips Rick, you've got a great camera presence. Keep up the great work!

@larrynewberry3500 5 лет назад

Nice info on paint for those who don't know. Nice to see the sun. First day here In WNY with sun and no rain in a week. Thanks Rick

@alaneasterday8327 5 лет назад

Hi Rick, good advice. I use a trickle charger on mine and was told it helps the battery last longer. Have a good week!

@longrider50 5 лет назад

The service info you provide with your videos is invaluable. I've seen enough interior/exterior/performance videos so that more info on how to keep the car running/looking good is helpful. Much thanks.

@bluevette2230 5 лет назад

Good day Rick; as always, very informative vlog, I enjoyed it, the same way I enjoy all your vlogs; Blessed day to all in the Corvette family; Corvettes # 1 !

@ObsessedGarage 5 лет назад

Rick, the paint on any new car is cured before it leaves the factory. You can polish it, wax it, coat it, and you can certainly cover it the day you get it. That would have been an issue 30 years ago, but it's not today.

@RickCorvetteConti 5 лет назад

true, I just know a guy that did what we talked about , dark color car and when he took cover off, white spots in the clear...always good to be safe at this level. Thanks for the comment man

@bobbycookseyjr5189 3 года назад

Hey Rick, since I have come across your videos a few months ago I have learned so much. I recently got a call from a dealer close to my house about someone backing out of getting their C8. I went and looked at it and didn’t want it. I want to get the car from you. Plus it wasn’t what I wanted. Anyway, this salesperson have been selling corvettes for 20 plus years and I knew more about the C8 than the salesperson. How is this possible since I have never owned a corvette. Well, thanks to your videos you truly teach everyone what corvettes are really about. Keep it up. I greatly appreciate it. Now, this is enough typing. Gotta get back to watching more of your Videos. Thanks again. Keep them coming.

@croderique 5 лет назад

My dealer had no clue where to plug in the trickle charger! I had to read the manual! Thanks for the video.

@kennstinchfield4218 5 лет назад

Good info. I bought the book two weeks ago. Will read it when we get home.

@jimsollmi3600 5 лет назад

Rick you do not have to slam the hatch down on the charger wires. If you move the wire a little to the right or left side of the hatch , you will a find a space that the wire can fit and move freely . There will be no pressure on the wire or the hatch gaskets.

@luisgutierrez5351 2 года назад

Just got my ZR1 from a car dealer from Ohio and saw the battery charger...I google it how to use it and I'm glad I saw your video. Learn about the car cover and battery charger. Thank you Rick! Also, I had only seen the car in the internet, never in person...what an amazing car when its in front of you. It's a beautiful machine.

@robertjakicic5878 5 лет назад

Great information Rick for Corvette owner's. Watching this episode should help a lot of people who cover there cars, I would lose my mind if that ever happened to me, remove the car cover and to see your car cover with blotches all over the paint.

@mycorvettelife 5 лет назад

Wow, good stuff Rick. I never would have thought about the cover on the new cars.

@tomfaltash9634 5 лет назад

Hi Rick. Loves your vlogs. Always very informative with just a touch of zany. When every we need to get some info on our new corvette we look to your vlogs first. Thanks for everything. Tom & Sandy

@jeffbourque4304 5 лет назад

hey Rick thanks for the car cover tip no one told me that when i picked up my ZR1 in may (watkins glen gray) i got the cover with the car printed on it very cool! and put it on just to see what it looked like then put it back in the bag. its going on soon i live in Ontario Canada. keep up the video's you are doing a great service to the corvette community THANKS

@19pony97 5 лет назад

Although the car cover info didn’t apply to me you did show me how to better take mine off and roll it up. Appreciated!👍👍👌👌

@lwelk273 5 лет назад

Very interesting paint knowledge. Will put the tip in place on this end. Good stuff as always!

@scottweishair9272 5 лет назад

Love it. Thanks Rick! Nice to have this kind of information.

@patrickjoseph2873 5 лет назад

Great video keep up the good work and keep giving us Corvette owners info on our Corvettes Thank you 😊

@tedspaseff-zr8yh 10 месяцев назад

Rick, so glad you decided not to delete yesterday's Tech Tuesday., I turned up the volume and enjoyed another great blog, no problem on this end. Appreciate the quick update on production numbers and spying a Corvette of the future?

@VenmHiss910 5 лет назад

Rick, Beautiful sunset in your intro/outro☀️. It’s the small details like storing your Vette (if you really have to☹️) that make Corvette ownership less stressful!! Great tips/Vlog as always!! STAY 💯 mike r. in NC 👍👍👍

@papabill1603 5 лет назад

It’s so fun watching your videos Rick. I’ve been a ford man my whole life (59 years old) and now switching to chevy due to quality and dependability of chevy now. I love the corvettes and watch all your videos , however I’m really a Camaro ZL1 person looking to buy one in 2019. I had a pro street 1965 mustang for over 30 years which won car shows and ran 10.50 in the quarter without the NOS on. Anyway love your video sir.

@wanted-33 5 лет назад

Good tip about the battery Rick. Many new Corvette buyers don't know how crazy a Vette can get when the battery is low.

@paulgrant2800 5 лет назад

Good raining ☔️ morning Rick from PG in Louisiana. Thanks for info. about the curing paint, that’s the first time I heard of that! Love ❤️ your vlog.

@kummer4523 5 лет назад

Hi Rick. you have such great passion. i love listening to you talk about corvettes.

@jdrew8937 Месяц назад

I was on my way to buy the Mercedes S580 that I already saw and liked. But I took a detour to a Chevrolet dealership to see a Corvette. As soon as I enter the showroom, a beautiful red Corvette was displayed on a platform in the center of the showroom. I pointed at it and said: "I want that car."

@albertcooper631 5 лет назад

Well Rick that was great info didnt know about pre 60 day paint. Great content.

@anthonymuntz2121 5 лет назад

Can always count on you for some good information, Rick! Nice, so when I get my Vette. I will be in the know. Great video! Peace!!🙏🤘👍👍

@MonsieurLeRobot 5 лет назад

Exactly what my Corvette dealer, here in Belgium, advised me to buy : the battery charger/protector & the indoor cover (though the FRONT label is so evident, that, i.m.o., it's impossible to put it upside-down, or backside-front..) Thanks, Rick !

@nashrambler5246 5 лет назад

All those animations and graphics look great Rick!!! 👍🏻 Cool video!!! 😃 🇺🇸

@codexena1 3 года назад

Well I did it right but I had the tag at the other end and it did not fit so flipped it and work right and your video shows I did it right. Did not have the new vette issue thou it was several years old when I got it. I love your vlogs! Keep up the good work!!!! If I was closer I would buy my cars from you for sure. Thank you for sharing this information!! Very helpful for us new vette owners.

@GG-xs8vt 2 года назад

I m back in the Corvette world. Just starting to check out all the videos. Thanks for the info. Always picking up tips here and there. You should be on TV. Maybe a game show host . Lol.

@deanporostovsky9547 5 лет назад

I've been meaning to purchase the battery protection pkg and the cover. Thanks for the show & tell! Looking forward to Wednesdays vlog on the PDR. Rick, thanks in-advance for all you do. We really appreciate it!

Thanks! Rick! Extremely informative and entertaining if had known about you before purchasing my z06 I would’ve purchased it through you. Thank you! For all you do for the corvette community. Liked! and subscribed!

@starryisom6542 5 лет назад

Thank u; New Subscriber bout a month ago. Definitely needed to see this. I just ran out & put my cover on my Chevy Camaro Fifty/RS. Been had car about 6months & trying to keep car preserved. Yes my cover fits just like that . Same rule applies for all Sports Car enthusiasts. Looking forward to trading for me a Stingray! U are awesome! 👍👍👌

@tjmoneybags 5 лет назад

Thanks Rick for being consistent. So many people out there fighting over likes and views pimping c8 Corvette news. So glad you show restraint and only show us confirmed things, not every silly rumor. Especially now that we are so crazy as enthusiasts that we are getting all excited over even key fob details. Hahaha. Thanks for consistency ....and content (not a video resume for why Chevy should give you a car or a spot in line). Yikes.

@mdavidkerns7893 5 лет назад

Thanks for the informative Vlog Rick! The Corvette I purchased from you had both the cover and the battery tender as the options and I have put both to good use. Picked up a good tip on how to roll that cover back up to get it in the carrying case. One thing to mention, and it might be assumed, make sure you wash and wax that exterior before putting the cover on! You don't want to get dirt ground into the side of the cover that sets on the paint. ;)

@FullThrottleDrive 5 лет назад

Awesome video Rick! Just got my Cover King for the Audi R8! I love it!

@johnglynn7795 5 лет назад

Rick, I concur with FL Car Guy below; great Vlog and appreciate sharing tips with your Vette community as our friend Chuck before he left the channel. I personally made the decision to purchase a 3rd party form fitting cover which I am very happy with. Additionally, when I ordered my Vette I purchased the" trickle charger" due to the amount of time I am out of the country. Thanks again for the Vlog. Blue skies, Jg

@karlvoss2312 5 лет назад

Great advise for the charger. Hope I can drive mine all winter.

@ISUringman1974 5 лет назад

Appreciate Corvette tips, Rick. I have an outdoor cover but haven't had to use it as I don't let my C7 stay outside for very long...other than when I'm driving it. And I don't store it since I'm in San Diego. I do have (and use) a tender. All that being said, no doubt this video will be very helpful for most of your viewers. And one final comment...glad to see the new (old) intro! Stay warm, all! --- Rick (ISUringman1974)

@robertdanner9090 5 лет назад

Rick, thanks for the info on car covers, I would have put my cover on my 2019 GS that I will be getting on Thanksgiving instead of waiting 60 days since the paint needs to cure. Thanks again

@terrywalsh331 Год назад

Great video Rick. Looks like Christmas came early! I have been a customer of both ACS and Paragon and they oroduce great products. I have had the ACS rock guards on my C8 for over a year and they do a great job of keeping the panels clean.

@bobbypace1909 5 лет назад

Good Morning Rick, great as always, I’m #corvettecrazy

@bobfoos7921 5 лет назад

Real good vlog Rick ,surprised you didnt have a camo colored cover !!!!

@peteralvarado7996 5 лет назад

Great information to have. Thank you

@charliestavro2843 5 лет назад

Hey Rick! Great video! Another thing you should have included on the cover is make sure your car is clean and dust free before putting the cover on. The cover could move that dust around and scratch the clear coat. When are you going to feature the Elkhart Lake Blue car in the daylight? I'm itching to see if I'll get that or Admiral Blue in the future lol. Have a great day!!

@timomick912 5 лет назад

Informative video Rick. I would like to hear your thoughts about the Range device that keeps the car in V8 mode. Thanks.

@stephendibari5010 4 года назад

@IFlySRQ 5 лет назад

I bought the exact same cover with Z06 logo in black and red.

@454nas 4 года назад

You Rock Rick 👍👍

@kenfldude 5 лет назад

Very informative Rick, I’m sure there are many people that didn’t know about the paint curing and the car cover. I’ve been buying cars for 50 years and I’ve never had a dealer tell me to wait 60 days before I cover the car with a cover.

@RickCorvetteConti 5 лет назад

Thanks Ken, when I was in Oklahoma, Chuck form Corvettes 918 heard of a guy this just happened too so I thought worth a Vlog discussion! Plus too, not dealing with a metal paint process as well

@petek6522 4 года назад

Nice, something I never figured ... i should be fine my cover has been in the box for 18 years, bought it for my 01 Z06

@karenstrauel4152 3 года назад

Hi Rick, hey we have a 2007 C6 corvette and it doesn't have the connector for the 1090 battery tender in the back end of the car. Would it be OK to hook it up in the cigarette lighter? Love all your videos, Thanks!

@User-th6yy 4 года назад

Does the battery maintenance kit work for 230v european power outlets as well? Or will it damage the module or battery? I think it transforms excessive power down but im not sure

@duke-qx8cm 5 лет назад

hi rick，I always had this question with the white corvette grand sport. Does the car with white spoiler or black? I see some grand sport coming with black but urs in the video with white spoiler. Thanks!

@MaxSpeedMike 5 лет назад

The best storage is a garage/cssing/warehouse. Car covers by themselves, with the car sitting outside, just doesn't cut it from my experience.

@ramsam8989 5 лет назад

Great video and information Rick, Especially about the battery charger. One question who sales them chargers? Thank you have a great Sunday.

@RickCorvetteConti 5 лет назад

Thanks you can get them on Chevy.com accessories at the bottom of page or via parts dept at your local Chevy dealer! Thanks for watching !

@kabar48 4 года назад

does tje C8 outdoor cover go over the high wi g spoiler if that option is ordered. ? I'm think about adding both but I'm concerned that the high wing will make the outdoor cover null and void.

@gmoney9961 5 лет назад

A follow-up to your comment re: ceramic coatings; our friend Albert (Block-A-Chip / Mentor, OH) has many of the exotics he works on brought to him straight from the dealer after they're delivered and prepped. Applying XPEL and/or ceramic coatings to a brand new vehicle is completely safe. I've driven my last 3 cars to his shop straight from the dealership without even stopping home first! So no worries on that front...

@RickCorvetteConti 5 лет назад

good news!

@rogera7955 5 лет назад

Great how to on hooking up the trickle charger for winter storage. I hooked the charger up to the cigarette lighter up front when spring came along I had a very low, low battery. No power to the cigarette lighter when the power is off on my 2015 Callaway Z06 Roger in Oregon Ohio.

@thevettboy 5 лет назад

Hey Rick, great information. Quick question, do you recommend putting a gasoline additive (Sta-Bil or others) in the gas tank when storing your Corvette for a couple of months? Thanks and have a great rest of the weekend.

@ice-tim9796 5 лет назад

I love how you can take basic information and turn it into something entertaining and more memorable.

@RickCorvetteConti 5 лет назад

@scubablair5960 5 лет назад

Rick I was thinking about buying a C7 2LT and if so it would be my daily driver. This would also include the winter except heavy snow. Coming from the 1and only Corvette Guru what is your opnion on that. Is it a good idea and can I do it.

@philtroskey3454 5 лет назад

I got to see 5 it was always the better is always run down yesterday I found out alternator was bad and bringing the battery down so now I have to get them both replaced had a trickle charger on it most of the time finally bought a jump box to get it started now it's in the shop Opus under $500

@stevefoisy4834 5 лет назад

Another great video where you share important useful information for a Corvette owner. I hadn't considered the effects of the new paint out gassing when putting a car cover on a new Corvette. It's something I should have remembered from my engineering background. Must be the results of getting older. Haha! It does make me wonder if you can get some paint degradation from the paint out gassing if you add a paint protection coating before the paint has cured. I have seen paint degradation on some of my cars, but thought it was from atmospheric contamination. I like the segment on the battery conditioner. I also like that you include one as additional equipment on the new Corvettes you order for stock. Just another of the thoughtful things that you do for your customers.

@chieftallboy 3 года назад

Got a 1997 corvette. It has to sit outside unfortunately trying to find the best outdoor cover. Can you tell me where to go?

@amoslyaround 5 лет назад

Thanks Rick, great info! But, now I have a related question. If a person wanted to do a clear wrap on his brand new car to protect the paint, should he wait 60 days, or more, before having it wrapped to aviod the same problems?
