Chassis detailing of a "survivor" car?

Hypothetical questions invite hypothetical answers--you don't really want me to go there!
In the real world, Patrick indicated it was a 61K mile car. If it is the original oil filter, the issues would be about cleaning the inside of the motor, not the outside!

Yes, a PF-25. The original is, thankfully, long gone, but I do have an original for show purposes. I also have a couple of the repro filters for show purposes. I had it Bowtie judged with a repro filter on it just for "looks" but knew I would not get points. I also had it judged with the BFGoodrich tires, as no 61000 mile car has original tires. I even drove it 200 miles to the meet.

if you want to keep the underside of your

new corvette looking like new for years if you drive it a lot have the underside sprayed with the rust proofing compound they put inside the doors and such. this is a waxy substance and i used to do it to all my new cars to keep the parts from rusting or corroding. so if you plan on keeping your new 2006 ZO-6 for 40/50 years to get a "bowtie" i would do this. it comes off with kerosene

Re: if you want to keep the underside of your

i just used what was available at the dealership and had them spray the underneath of the car. here in PA were they put salt on the road in the winter the underneath parts,suspension,frame etc will get rusty without it. since i do not drive my corvettes in the winter i do not need to do them

Try Boeshield T-9

Try Boeshield T-9. Developed by Boeing for the aircraft industry, I think this is just the ticket for your application. Here's the link for more info and I think you can now buy it at Sears in the tool and hardware section. It's a good substitute for a product called Protech, which is no longer available, but used to be offered by ASL out of Nevada. It was a clear waxy product good for protecting natural metal parts against corrosion without changing the appearance. Boeshield is also nearly unnoticable once applied.
