Default Glad it isn't any LARGER!

OK, thought I would wax the 22 footer. I suspect it has spent many of its years outside. Its skin just OBSORBS the wax. It certainly has made a difference where I have been, but I am only about 1/2 done and my "wax on, wax off" arms are about fall off! When this is done, I may be looking for a 12 footer!

So, I guess bringing my 24 footer for you to wax is out of the question, huh?

You need a random orbit polisher.

Reuben,
I have you down for February 30 next year! You know what that west Texas sun does to surfaces!
Jack you are right, but now it is the principle. I said hand waxed and hand waxed it shall be!

Talking

Maybe y'all aren't familiar with any 15 year olds in your neighborhood. They don't work cheap, but most are reasonable. Let's face it, washing and waxing isn't exactly brain surgery....nor is it enjoyable.

Default washing and waxing HiLo

Read this recently on another forum. Washing away bugs. !. you can leave wax on the front and not wipe the haze away. When you get home reapply some wax to the front and the bugs should come off easily. 2.Put water and some fabric softener or a fabric softener sheet in a spray bottle. Let soak for a while and this should make the clean up job easier. I wouldn't think you should need to rewax again this soon. Some clean off the bugs after each day on the road.
