Default Waxing in the water.

Talked to a guy in Joisey today as he was waxing a car. He said he
does trucks and boats, too. I mentioned that I just did my boat. He
said he does boats in the NYC area while they're in the water. Stands
on a dock (apparently a floating one) and does one side, then turns
the boat to do the other.

I 've never heard of this. Have you?

Whats wrong with that?
He's not waxing the bottom is he?

I paint my boat while it's in the water.

Wax is for kids.

I have heard of this. Apparently, it looks fine for a few months then flakes
off.

Sure. Where have you been?

Hasn't happened to any boats I've waxed in the water.

We use 3-M stuff and a 10" RO buffer. Works like a champ as long as you
don't drop the buffer in the water.

Why would it 'flake off' ?

That's good, but have you been to nowhere?

I dunno. Cheap wax? Using a drill with a disc as a "buffer"? Does
Bubbles have this problem too?

I know it as a Johnny Cash song. Did someone do it before him, old
timer?
