Today was the club's Wash N Wax day to clean the planes.
With a good member turnout the work went quickly.
I got to taxi the Archer to the wash stand and we then soaped it down and power washed it clean.
Then I taxi'd it back to the hangar and we dried the plane off, applied wax and buffed it to a shine (Mr. B., the wax you suggested is now on order so we'll have better stuff soon).
We then did the same with the Dakota once it returned form the Wash Stand.
With everyone working it only took and hour to get it all done.
Then we got to checkout this nice 1967 Chevelle SS that a nearby hangar owner drove up in. He checked out our nice and shiny planes, and we got to checkout his very nice car.
All original except for some hoses and the white paint on top which had been redone. Per the owner, the original A/C has a leak and is inop, especially with the cost of freon these days, Other than that, she's not just working and all-original but an absolute beaut of a car.
It was a beautiful morning and a good time with some good people, cleaning planes, talking aviation, and admiring a classic car.

Sounds like a good day all the way around!
Back when I hung around the local airport, we used "Slipstream" wax. Worked great on cars, too!
