Default Best cleaner for river slime

Yep, I should have said Carnuba, but I think the idea got across.

All this talk about Zaino makes me wonder about how a polish can protect
paint or fiberglass. Seems like you need a coating of some sort to do that job,
and as far as I know, Carnuba was is one of the toughest of those types.

My experience has been with Simoniz wax with Carnuba was and it protected
my 1990 van's paint for 11 years with a once a year application. When I sold
it, the paint still looked great.

I bought the "On and Off" new gel formulation at West Marine today. The latest
issue of Practical Boater rated it highly along with another brand which West didn't
carry. Practical Boater gave the other brand a higher rating because it was half the
price of "On and Off". The West salesman recognized this and matched the price
to the other stuff. I think Boater's World carried the other brand. These are all
mixtures of various acids, so they probably are equally effective.

My experience with waxes are the easier they apply, the less protection. I only use
waxes with Carbona. It isn't easy to apply, but it lasts a whole season.


Is that Carnuba? If it is then that put that in some cheap chocolates too.
