If its slightly chalky, I use the 3m cleaner polish, and then wax afterwards. I'm not a big fan of the 3m stuff, but it does work if you work hard with alot of rubbing.

If the gel coat is really oxidized, wet sand with 800 - 1200 paper, then compound/3m cleaner wax then wax.

For wax I like collonites fleetwax. I also found Meguiars Gold class auto wax to work great.

For general spring clean up I of black marks, dirt from leaves etc, I like "Roll off" or "Roll away" in some water.
This stuff also cleans vinyl awesome. We use it on a friends Viking all the time. It cleans diesel soot like no tomorrow.


I also use Orpine soap - its the best for day to day cleaning, and wont strip your wax.
