All I know is that if I walked out and saw one of my buddies using his bare hands to apply wax, it would most likely result in him being kicked in the ***** and given some sort of long term nickname.

He would be worse off then the guy in college I knew who waxed his ENTIRE car. Literally his entire car. Windshield, trim, weatherstripping, emblems, tires, wheels. EVERYTHING you could see had wax on it. I am not making this up.

He really didn't know any better.

His nickname was Stiffy and since that date, any stray wax we see on a car (trim, edges, etc.) is referred to as stiffy wax.

Hey thanks for the dumb *** comment. I thought this was a board where if you had questions about something then it could be discussed. If you don't like the question that was asked, keep your sorry *** comments out of the thread. And that goes for the other guys in this thread as well. If you have nothing to add advise wise then get the **** out.

I said it was a dumb post...still is. So, I do not mind being considered a "sorry ***," the way I see it is, that its still a few steps above "dumb ***"(hmmm...ttt). Wax by hand..Ha,ha, ha, ha.
