Good Day Vganites,

Noting the thread between Robert and Larry, one of the principal uses we
have for our Syncro Westfalia is getting to our primitive cabin in
11-mile canyon.  It's just under a mile,  up a Jeep trail, stepping over
some pretty serious rocks and squeaking between the bushes.  The first
few times we made the trip, the Vanagon looked like it was really
scratched up from the bushes.  When I washed it, the scratches went
away.  We finally figured out that the scrub-oak bushes were leaving
traces of sap where we touched them, then dust would stick to the sap
and look like we had done some significant damage.

We keep a good coat of wax on it at all times, and the scratches are
never visible after we wash it when we get home.
Where we go:
