I know, "what's the best" is a loaded term. The gell coat on the boat
is "ok" not powdery but is really dull,and could use a good cleaning
and waxing.

To do a good job, what kind of boat wax would y'all recomend?
Automotive? or is there a "special" wax that one should use?

And for best results, can anyone tell me how to do a good prep job or
lead me to a site, that will show me how to make the waxing work well?

thanks!


Start with an application of 3M Finesse It II finishing polish (using a
random orbit buffer) followe-d by a good coat of Collinite Fleet Paste
Wax. It will look like new again.


Once the boat is polished and waxed I maintain the finish mid-season using
this past wax:

It is easy to apply and remove and gives a great shine. As I am now docked
I apply this wax (after washing the boat) when we anchor at our swimming
spot sometime in July (mid season). Between the preseason polish with
Finesse-It II and wax with Collinite Fleet Paste Wax followed by the mid
season Meguires Flagship liquid wax I have always been able to maintain the
gelcoat to like new condition.
