The Marine cleaner wax does work a little better on the bottom for for getting the roller marks and some water stains off. Also on the bottom I use a 6 inch buffer anywhere I have room. For me a lot faster and less pain when waxing above your head. Still have to do by hand in all the tight spots and area between the trailer and the supports when have boat lifted off. I like doing the top and the side and stern but the bottom is real work. My boat is Painted Aluminum Crestliner 21 foot.
Re: car wax vs marine wax Boatist said:. Re: car wax vs marine wax The reason I use NU Finish is consumer report many years ago where Nu Finish was call the once a year car wax. Of course then did not test over a year. What they did was wax the cars per instructions on the products then run them thru 52 car washes. After each wash they compared how the water beaded up. NU Finish was the only one that they said was a true once a year car wash. On my boat the shady side really last a year but I do it about twice a year.
On the sunny side it more like 3 or 4 months. The white deck does good at twice a year. The bottom should be done more but I hate doing it. I do not know about fiberGalss as my boat is painted aluminum. My truck is painted steel. All I would suggest in try a small spot where it will not be noticed and see how it does.
The only hope for water spots is soft water and dry before it can dry. Hard water and the beads drying up leaving the minerals behind is water spots. Wash when it is cool if possible and dry right away. That what kids are for and wifes in bikini can also help. You must log in or register to reply here.
