Gary,
I really like "CARNUBA premium paste wax" by Blue Coral. I
find it applies well, lasts long enough, and has that character-
istic carnuba smell that reminds me of the "Classic Car Wax" stuff
that my Dad used when he waxed a car he would care about. Having
said all these good things about it, I must tell you it is reason-
ably priced too, at about five bucks a can at the local auto parts
discount joint; so how can you lose?
I have used "Mother's" wax and was disapointed, it would cloud
up, dull and haze in next to no time. Which really amazed me because
of all the good things I've heard about it.

For what it's worth, I usually apply a *small* amount of the
world famous "Armorall". I don't use so much that the interior looks
as though it were clear coated with Imron; just a little to give it
a very slight sheen. And NEVER use it on the tires...Why do people
insist in making tires shiny? They never were shiny new so shouldn't
be artificially shined up, I say.
