    instead of a scotchbrite pad or cork, i use a metal brush and finish off with a softer brush afterwards.

    Nice pics.......Artsy..
    What are you scraping with just a piece of plastic???? and are you only doing the base or do you go all the way to the head and tail??

    I'm always told by the shop guys to scrap head to tail or you could ruin the grain...

    After you're done scraping, take your scotchbrite pad and scuff the wax until it looks shiny and smooth.

    and, optional after that take your cork half and do the same thing.

    take a small metal scraper to clean off your edges. And finally,


    fasten seatbelts, place tray tables in upright positions, and you are ready for takeoff.
