Power to you Richard.  I haven't waxed (or polished) a car in many a year.
I used to when I was young, but I learned that the finish is pretty much
there to stay, unless the vehicle (or parts of it) have been repainted.  It
doesn't have to shine for me.  I am interested in a repaint job for my
camper, though, with some minor ding repair included.  If anyone can
recommend the place to do that near me, please do.  I am near Spokane,
Washington.
