waxing bottom...
So I've been reading through the old posts over the years about waxing
hulls. What I'm trying to clear up is, after time, does it keep the bottom a bit cleaner... does it wear off right away....? Has anyone waxed, and then pulled out their rig after a month or two and notice a cleaner difference? -j |
waxing bottom...
Hi Jay,
I was given a real nice open 14' fibeglass skiff a few years ago. I took it over to a recommended boat detailer in West Sacramento, CA, Hallerman Marine. It was a little oxidized and they buffed it with a mild compound and then waxed it. The boat shockingly looked like a new hull. I bought a new traler and motor for it. When I was first launching it, I was part way backed down the boat ramp and stopped to take off the wench cable and the boat started slidding down the trailer. I almost dumped the hole thing right there on the concrete. The bottom is real smooth so it must go better and is easy to wash off. I do think polishing/waxing the bottom(and top) of a boat is a good thing. I also believe that you need to keep it covered too because the sun just 'eats them up'. -- Bill Kiene Kiene's Fly Shop Sacramento, CA, USA Web site: www.kiene.com "Jay" wrote in message ...
