After much research several years back, I located a test of boat waxes where they left the fiberglass in the weather for like 5 years and then checked and reported back every year as to the overall performance and the hands down winner was Collinite <<<<maverick says

If someone is going to only wax/polish there boat every 5 years.. well, never mind. My .08 worth is this.

1.Wetsand the ENTIRE boat. This will remove scratches/oxy and everything else. (It'll look bad but don't sweat it)
2. Buff with Polish/light compound (with buffer, not by hand)
3. Buff with Polish/light compound again (Yea, you are tired and thinking omg, why did I start this project)
4. If you like what you see... and only if you like what you see - put some good wax on it. It will be all ""Pimped out with some Bling".

I know this is a lot of work. But we do it and that is about the only way to really get all to look it's very best.

CAT says, "If you don't have time to do it right the first time... How you gonna find time to do it again". <<<<Shop motto

Bling it on
