[VAC] Re: Skin care for a clear-coated '77 Excella???

["Richard P. Kenan" <as5368@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

         IIRC, Pat Ewing strongly recommends the Walbernize treatment as 
really keeping the clearcoat flexible and nice.  I can testify about 
keeping it flexible, as temperatures this last winter at Top of GA dropped 
to around 10 deg. F, and I lost a lot of clearcoat from flaking on my '95 
Excella.  Recently re-coated panels were not affected.  All my clearcoat 
losses have been the result of cold weather.  I suspect that the previous 
owners didn't do, as you are planning, and simply left the clearcoat 
alone.  My owner's manual suggests a yearly wax job.
