My boat is Awlgripped, so I use US Paint's products.

Maxprop, my boat is also Awlgripped. It was done in USA before I brought her
over here but Awlgrip is not heard of here although there are probably
similar products sold under different names.
Anyway, it is a lovely white finish but after the winter layup she needs
cleaning off and waxing-or something.
What US Paint product do you use?


You can put wax on Awlgrip. Clean it well first, but don't
use abrasive. Actually you could probably use a very fine
abrasive polish (Awlgrip is just a 2 part LPU paint, hard
finish) but unless the finish is very old & yukked up, you
shouldn't need to.

Almost any car wax will do, although IMHO the best marine
wax is a 3M product called "Marine Wax" (those crazy guys).
