Best wax?

buckleyjr · #1 06-03-2005, 11:27 AM

I should be done with the compounding of my hull this weekend and will hopefully be moving on to the wax. Anyone have any recommendations for a really good marine wax? I know they make this Teflon stuff now, and I used to use caranuba. Any thoughts on what works best?

I used to use Meguiar's Mirror Glaze -- the only reason I can cite the exact name is I have an old bottle of it in a box of boat stuff in my office! ::) I thought it did a pretty good job.

Now that I have awlgrip I don't have to mess with the wax anymore. ;D

Buckley -

Collonites Fleetwax is my choice. It will hold up all season. Second choice is Meguires gold class.

MJ is a secret closet waxer. ;D

It's easy around here. ;)

The Meguiar's and Colonite are both excellent choices. You can also try the 3M Fiberglass Cleaner/Wax. It has a very mild compound in it to clean up oxidized surfaces.
