Clue/Question:  He knew a lot about car waxes and polishes and was considered to be a – – –

Answer:  BUFF BUFF

(Beep beep, vroom vroom!  Wax on, wax off!  A silly little, easy to get Jumble, for a Wednesday.  Not sure when the word “buff” came to mean someone in great shape, with ripped muscles.  Originally, it’s a verb meaning to polish.  It’s also a color, and it can mean a fan, as in a movie buff, history buff, car buff, etc..  The pumped buff came much later, and I guess it’s considered slang.

All familiar clue words today.  Three of the jumbles appear to be new, while we’ve seen “ftasf” sometime before.  The answer letter layout was a straight eight letter jumble.  With three repeating letters it made getting the final answer pretty easy.

Fine cartoon of the outside of a car wash.  The waxer/buffer is sufficiently buff.  And, I always enjoy seeing a Jumble mobile!  They’re very rare, you know!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
