Looks great! I've never tried Adams. I'm considering doing Zaino the next time around. But I need a lot more $$$ for all of their products haha!

I also recommend the foam pads. Lake Country Pads are the best IMO

you won't be disappointed with zaino. It's an awesome product. I've been using it for years. Don't let the price scare you, it's a little bit of an investment up front, but if you use it correctly a little bit goes a long way. You can polish an entire 4th gen or 6th gen with a little less that 3/4 of an ounce of polish.

I am another Adam's believer, here is a link to a new posting there as the Officially licensed Car care for Camaro & Corvette.

Officially Licensed GM Car Care

As you are low on funds, maybe have a pro buff it out and then go to Adam's or one of the many other car care forums and start washing it yourself. If you get the swirls out then you can keep up with the shine by hand.

Where in MN are you? If you can wait until late August/September we could meet and you can use my Porter Cable.
