[QUOTE="Rruuff Day, post: 134652, member: 2217"] Cruzin....If you use the Search Forums feature, toss in a few key words (much like Goggle), the forum will spit you out more posts to answer your question than a Funk and Wagnells.... :Biggrin: But just in case you don't want to read 300 previous responses, I use Mequiars Ultimate liquid wax.
