im gonna have to disagree with you here robert, i'd much rather wax my own board, then have someone who has been doing it professionally for years do it. for one, its my stuff, i paid for it, i care about it, i'll take my time doing it and do a good job. the dude at the shop is getting paid to do it no matter how good the job is, and the more boards he gets done in less time, the sooner he gets to go home. translating into a sloppier, quick job on your board.
im pretty sure i do a far better job myself, and a lot cheaper too.
