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?

I have had great success using a 3M product called Finesse-It II and
3M Heavy Duty compound. Go over it with the 3M HD followed by the
Finese-It II. Use an air powered DA sander with a polishing pad -
that was one lesson I learned early when using this stuff - electric
powered polishers don't seem to cut it for some reason.

After that, 3M Fiberglas Restorer and Wax and the result will be
amazing.
