    World War II movie Greyhound

    I'll be generous and give it a C minus. Lacked character development. Didn't get to know the sailors. A lot of the enemy submarine action made no sense, being on the surface in the middle of the convoy.? It was a video game not a movie.

    Best "quick wax"?

    Never used it but heard many good comments on Duragloss # 951AW (Aquawax). I just use the Duragloss 105 since it goes on and comes off so easy, why both with a spray.

    As OP and as other have mentioned, I would only get one if I was only keeping the vehicle a short time. I got me a "blem" three years ago from an Interstate Distributor for $40 plus tax. Had it check recently at ADVANCE and it's good for the fourth year.
