Busskipper, I'll let my solution out of the bag. First I researched a colored wax. They make it but it's expensive. So next (I know you'll think I'm nuts) I tried shoe polish. Yes it did hide it but you have to do such a small area at a time, because when the polish dries it is really hard to get off. So my last and best solution is Old English Furniture scratch cover for both dark and light wood. Call me nuts but this stuff worked for me. I purchased a shoe polish sponge applicator with the plastic handles and apply just a bit of the OE to the applicator. This stuff is just like a stain and very runny. Wear a pair of rubber gloves. I apply the OE to and area and let it set a bit. I then take a piece of paper towel and wipe it off. It may take two applications to darken the cracks if you really have a lot of them. Next I use a product called "Bullet Polish". It's similar to Mothers Showtime spray on detail spray but is much less expensive and in my regard a MUCH better product. Once I apply the BP and wipe it off and buff it, stand back and take a look it will put a smile on your face.

Sure the cracks are never gone but once you stand back they are colored in and not that noticeable. This for sure isn't a cure all but sure makes the coach look a lot better. If it weren't for the phone that I had pictures on I would post some pics. I showed the pictures to a lot of my friends and they couldn't believe the difference. I have a friend who has a body shop and showed him the pics. He asked who did I have paint it. I said no one and told him what I did. He had to go look for himself and his exact words "well I'll be damned". Give it a try. Just purchase one bottle at first and see what you think. The stuff is not expensive at all. Good Luck.

Now that's another vote for Furniture Polish - between Old English Furniture scratch cover and Pledge we should find something Good.

Is this the Bullett Polish?

If this is the solution then I'll older all and start over the weekend.

Glad to see I'm not the only one willing to TRY something "Out of the BOX"

Thanks,

Yes that's the Bullet Polish. I just order the BP-1 bottle and mix it with a gallon of Distilled Water. This stuff really works well. Has various uses, glass, wood etc. When you use it spray it sparingly and have two (2) micro fiber cloths. One to take it off the second to buff. Hope all works out, I know it's done a great job for me. Bullet Polish will have specials from time to time. I know on the BP-1 (buy 2 get 1 free). Check out there site they have some good products. Should mention I never bought that kit. On the left side of there page click on the second item. I've only ever ordered the 4oz. bottles and mixed my own. The other item I've used is the finish sealer on my car.
