[C320-list] Time for cleaning and waxing

[Mike Paris]

I just did mine yesterday. I used (as recommended by other from this list) 
Collinite 920 followed by Fleetwax 885. I can't state enough how great it 
looks and how sore I am. It took approximately 5 hours from start to finish 
and that was without doing any topside work yet.
