Re: WHICH TURTLE WAX TO USE ??
Since i no longer live in Southern California, i don't have access to my
favorite, Desert Tortoises, but occasionally i find some turtles in local lakes. Just blast them with a scattergun and rub the juice on the jeep after cooking them. http://bedoper.com/reptilian/graphic...ofdisguise.jpg I don't wax primer. http://home.goldrush.com/obsoelyt/SnowTrailerA.jpg -- Paul Calman, Hathaway Pines, California |
