You're not far from all of us... I suggest that you throw a BB (Beer & Bratz) party, invite all the NJ people to it, and we'll be happy to give you our humble opinion(s) of your obviously fine boat.

Darn, wish I was closer. I could go for a brat. I really want to know what the "best ever" process is on detailing. The Whaler needs it again. Man that boat gets big when it comes to waxing and such.

Ok, here you go........

Step 1: Wash and rinse boat, leave " wet ".
Apply Turtle Wax brand polishing compound & scratch remover using circular buffer or soft rag in overlapping circular motion. Use lots of the stuff, not sparingly.
Do the entire exterior - hull only.
Then wash the boat with car wash detergent, using soft brush on pole, wash off all the compound !!! Don't bother wiping it off .......it's a waste of effort.

Step 2. Apply Nu Finish -" the once a year car polish " - it comes in the orange container.
Can be found at any Pep Boys. Again, overlapping circular application nice and damp.
Allow to dry, buff off ! and WOW, what a shine and long time protection !!

Boat interior - Woody Wax ( not the clear coat ). Wash interior first of course, then just spray this stuff on all fiberglass and metal surfaces. Wipe in with cloth, spread evenly, let sit for 20 - 30 minutes, then just hose it off nicely. Allow to air dry and buff with clean cloth ! WOW what a shine !!!

Forget using all the crap that's hard to remove etc......this process is great.
