I used the claybar and Gliptone carnauba wax over it. I need to do another coat. Yes, that is Turtlewax in my hand. The Gliptone was inside and I was just "touching up".

Please send us rain!

If rain could be 'scanned' and 'forwarded' I could send you a monsoon right now. It's raining cats, dogs, and little chickens up here. In fact, I just finished attaching pontoons to the house 'just in case'. :bored
