Subject:Westy Waxing: Recommendations?
From:Chris Paquette
Date:Mon, 4 Apr 2005 11:32:36 -0700

My '88 Westy badly needs a coat of wax. Primary research reveals many
different choices - waxes, paint sealers, many different brands. The vehicle
hasn't been waxed in at least 5 years so I believe a specific approach is
required for best results and paint protection. I'd appreciate any specific
recommendations regarding method and brands.

For the poptop, I bought a bottle of 303 Aerospace Protectant to help reduce
oxidation, but I'm unsure whether it will just protect against further
oxidation or actually restore some luster to the fiberglass surface.
Comments welcome in this area, too.

Finally, I've rejoined the list recently and can't seem to find the correct
page to search the archives - selecting "Archives" from the Vanagon.com site
brings up a blank page. Have the archives moved?

Thanks for any input.
