Default Waxing Question

Is there a way to protect rough, non-skid areas of fiberglass decks from
oxidation and UV? I'm assuming that these areas can't be waxed in the same
way that smooth fiberglass/gelcoat can, or am I wrong?

Thanks for any responses,

Steve H.

Steve,
I use Aurora Sure Step, a paste wax made for non skid. Claims to even give
more traction when wet. Don't know about that, but it doesn't seem to be any
more slippery than no wax, and it looks good.
If your non skid is very aggressive, it may be hard to "buff", but mine is
not aggressive.
Seems I've seen another liquid treatment, maybe Starbrite?

I was wondering if some form of klister cross country ski wax or
similar, might work.

We use penetrol. (I may be spelling it wrong, but that's how it
sounds) It doesn't make the non-skid skiddy - the opposite in fact.

Bob waxed the cabin sole once, and I don't think that was a good idea.
