Black Beauty in the Rain

I know Tedy. It definitely doesn't buff off the way most other products do. The good thing about this is that it lets you know that you're actually creating some kind of long-lasting seal on top of the woodgrain that will stand up to the elements. (I do get carried away when it comes to fake wood on a classic American station wagon. Speaking of which, Pontiac used to put a semi-see through woodgrain on it's Tempest Safaris in the early '70's. They advertised it as picking up the paint color of the overall car and blending better. And Ford did something on the tailgates of its Country Squires and Torino Squires so that at night, the whole woodgrain panel "lit up" as a safety reflector when headlights shined on it.)
