poorboys fcukin rocks... and smells funky too  :cool:

however... you can use a decent hard wax like collinite if you have some... does the same job

or if you have something like jetseal 109 that works too

Cheers Guy, I have a little Colli left, but was going to buy some new bits anyway. How often would you reccomend sealing? Once a year?

I use 2 coats of Jetseal 109 every 2 months. It's awesome stuff.

once every few months should be ok... although if the beading/protection stops then reapply
