I just received my Walbernize from Colonial. What did you wash with and how did you apply the Walbernize?

Adanac, Wait till your AS is 30 years old, it's a hole different thing. When you do a 30 year old 25' AS, it's called a labor of LOVE! Labor for sure, LOVE definitely!

I need to get motivated it looks like to get it waxed. However it is clean and ready to go. Have already had two trips in March. I will say yours looks super nice.

Nice job! Looks great!

I always love the way mine looks once it's been waxed. I've done this at least once a year with Meguiars since it was new (it's now 14 years old and still looks like new). I also treat the windows and window seals with ProtectAll, and the tires with an ArmorAll product made specifically for tires. That finishes the external detailing.

It's a lot of work, but satisfying, and pays off in maintaining the appearance of your AS over time.

Currently camping in the north Georgia hills. Mine is covered with yellow pollen. Had some rain and all it did was make more streaks. Going to have fun washing and waxing when I get home in a couple of weeks.

Looks great! Take this time to be thankful it's not a 34'. Mine's due for wax too, so guess I should get busy.

Oh my. That's terrible! Hope you are doing OK. Looks like you fractured your Tibia near the ankle? The older I get the more ladders scare me. Take care of yourself!

I am going today to buy a better ladder. Hope you heal quickly. Thank you for the reminder.

This is my first broken bone (I made it 43 years). I had no idea a broken bone was so uncomfortable, but hopefully the cast will be better than the splint. Luckily it was a clean break......no fragments and no displacement. The good news I have a great excuse to buy a new ladder as well!
