[QUOTE="alfredo_buscatti, post: 21242, member: 36"] I have a group 6 Ferndown dublin REO (burgundy finish). The stain on the bowl remains as it was when I purchased it. The stain on the rim has faded somewhat, I think, due to my using a rag, etc., to clean it after smoking. First I apply a good measure of saliva onto the rim and rub it off with rag. Then I apply wax to the rim and spread it evenly around it. I do the saliva rub to clean off any deposits of soot or whatever it is, including the old wax (see below) that gets onto a rim during smoking. I apply the wax so that during the next smoke the soot gets deposited on top of the wax, not on the rim. You have to do both things when the bowl is still warm; well, you can wait until it cools but applying the wax is more difficult. I learned this technique from an old Knox board member, Patrick G or Halojumper, I believe. [/QUOTE]
