if its natural wax, its just a pain to get it on there smoothly and to buff it off.
if its polymer wax, then it'll take a long time to dry...like an hour or so to never
depending on the temp.

oh, ok, thanks. I used the Mother's three step system and it was a lil bit below 70 by just a few degrees this past Sunday when I waxed my MINI and i wasn't sure if I had unknowingly messed it up.

>>Waves on the north shore are pounding and 10 feet today. Small craft advisory is out. Careful-surfers, don't break your neck in that surf. 20 to 30 ft surf is unsurfable except by the pros and big wave experts. You'll need jet skis to take you out to where it's breaking and even the jetskis get mangled by the waves. It's risky business.

Small craft advisory is out -- what -- how come no one cares about big craft?
