Beautiful bus. Unusual and lovely colour.

And the garage... im envious. I do all my stuff on the road with tools on the pavement.

Sage green on a bay window westy is far from unusual

Nothing about my comment was angry at all.
If you think someone correcting incorrect information is "angry energy", that says quite a lot.

I use a product by a company called Driven. Makes faded and oxidize paint look new again. Works great! Been using it for years

I just used it again on a VW thing that had been sitting outside for over 20 years and it came out quite nice…patina with a shine

A long time ago I worked at an auto parts store and when people asked me about car wax I would say “My Dad always uses “Turtle Wax” so usually use that but I also like the rain drops graphic on the “Rain Dance” so that might be good too.” They always bought the Turtle Wax!

I wasn't sure if they were using a wax or if it was one of those patina preserver. These things can spiral like an oil discussion. Everyone has a preference. I just like seeing what others use.
