After doing this and that (compounding/polishing the whole car, sanding, compounding/polishing the front clip) to my 1968 black single stage Galaxie, it was time to get it ready for it's winter outside.
Since the front clip was already done (#7 and #26), I just polished the top and trunk lid (the #26 without the #7 didn't last very long) and applied #7 using Mike's super instructions.
Then the Fleetwax. MAN is that tough to apply. The label says not to let it dry. Unfortunately, I never read that far, so I got the whole car applied before I started to remove. Panicked when I tried to get some off with the mf, but grabbed a cotton terry towel instead.
NO problem. Cotton terry in one hand, mf in the other, and it all came off (fairly) easily. Any trouble spots, a mist of EFCP on the mf and off it came. With the #7 under the wax it looks awesome.
I promised my wife that this would be it for the Galaxie until the spring, and I'm looking forward to the Fleetwax keeping the thing at least halfway decent looking over the winter.
