Yep. Shy

Yep. Shy

Guilty. Last November. Blades sharpened, joints greased, air filter replaced, oil and filter changed, washed and waxed. Just finished its 20th mowing season for the Simplicity. Battery taken inside and put on a trickle charger. Ready for the next season.[Image: e6c545091d13bac6251df2424ff6fcf3.jpg]

Nice! Looks like the equipment shed at Wrigley Field!
All this talk about Brazilian wax...went to Google it. Let’s just say the search results weren’t what I expected! Blush

I used Brazilian Wax only once. It hurt like Hades when I ripped it off if me! Never again! Confused

Edit, the ferret beat me to it.

You have to go to a different place for the proper Brazilian Wax treatment....

Fortunately, this is not the sort of forum where we'll let you give a description of your last 'Brazilian', Houtman. There'd be way too much information!

And, mvk, I think you should check with your mother before you use her Brazilian wax!

NO wax for me any longer-

Last fall I used a wax remover wash, then a polish to remove any hair lines - then a ceramic coating and it was unbelievable how nice, deep, shiny the tank looked.

What's the story with "ceramic" coatings? I went through an automatic car wash today that was touting "ceramic" protection for +$7. I don't understand what it is...a lot of car guys on my 124 Spider forum talk about it.
