Around here nearly all the detail companies wax their customers'
boats ITW.


Where is here?

Lake Michigan.

Only the marinas pull them, and that's rare. I've seen some do as
Scooter
says (turning the boat and waxing from the dock), and some use
inflatables
and battery-operated buffers. One woman uses a bosun's chair to do
the
topsides of larger sailboats. She hangs from a multipart extension
of the
main halyard and moves around the boat, adjusting her control line
as she
goes. Seems to work well.


Do you know what they charge. The guy I talked to said $250 for a
30'er. I believe I heard $10 / foot elsewhere.

Not sure, but more than I'm willing to pay, no doubt.
