How do you clean your Woodville's ?

[Cliven]

I currently have 6 REO's, all aluminum and I love the fact that I can just remove the battery and bottle and run under hot water. Lately However, I have this terrible itching for a Woodville. I really want one now and kick myself for not getting one during the last run. ( I envy whomever got the #50 Black Palm?). Anyway, WHEN I do get one, how do you care for yours?

.....and yes, I will be watching the classifieds a LOT!

With a product called Howard Sunshield. It has carnuba wax, bees wax,orange oil and a UV protectant in it. My bottle arrived in the mail today, it made my Woodvil gleam! I ordered it from a furniture store in GA.

I keep seeing people talk about #50 Black Palm yet I haven't seen it on the site. Where is it? All I've seen is 53 and 56. I have #56 Black Palm Blemished.

With the woods always make sure you wipe away any juice on the finish as soon as it occurs. A damp soft cloth works well.

It is a good idea to apply wax inside and out. Don't forget the back of the door! Let the wax sit for a few hours or overnight before buffing. Better if it sits 24 hours.

On the inside I apply the wax and do not wipe it off. Most will soak into the wood or dry.

A waxing once a month is good.

This is the same for any finish of wood. SunShield | Howard Products

Amazon carries the Howards. The bottle I have does not have sun shield in it but they have both.

Karen is the guru on maintaining these, I am following her advice

I cleaned my wood in running water a few times, just dry it quickly and not much water will get in if it's waxed well I guess, but then again it does cause it to swell up slightly and make my door get much tighter, which I like now when my door gets too loose I just wet the mod a little probably not a good idea to get too much moisture into the wood but just a quick wipe down with a damp cloth at least shouldn't hurt anything I think, or maybe I should say I hope

Oh I see now I was looking for a full Black Palm instead of a two tone. That is a very sweet door.
