Got my old boat in the water, so waxing the hull is out. but i'd like

Kerosene. Be careful. Don't let it drip into the water or you will have
visitors.

Not recommended.....

... it is the same philosophy as using kerosene or diesel oil on OD
green or..... running a wet patch through a dirty rifle barrel.

...doesn't do the job, just makes it look like you did...





Bob wasn't interested in prepping his boat properly, so he needs to
cheat to give the hull a temporary shine.
