What's the very best wax to to use on a fiberglass hull boat?

Question

That will take off the dull dead paint and oxidation?

Answer 1

I use Meguiars Marine and RV fiberglass restoration system. Its about 28 bucks for the kit. At most marine stores, I buy mine at a local marine store. First time I used it on my 95 Rinker. It came out real shiny, that was 4 yrs ago. It was a lot of work used a lot of step one and polish. The first time I used it. I use it every year the boat dose not look like its 12 yrs old.

Answer 2

I would recommend the McGuiyers (I probably have the spelling incorrect), and get a good buffing machine. I used the very soft rubbing compound (more of a gel) with buffing pads that came with my Hitachi buffer/disc sander (7inch version).
It brought up the finish on my old boat magnificently. It is, however a lot of work, but much cheaper than having a yard do it.
After buffing it up to a very nice shine (took 3 rounds of it) I put on 3 coats of wax - a very hard carnuba wax. That kept the boat looking good throughout the summer.

Answer 3

I prefer the 3m brand buff compound and and a rotory buffer with a nice thick wool pad to realy cut through the oxidation,
if the oxidation is really bad , you might have to cut through with a second application, but when your done apply the 3m wax and you will have a brand new looking gelcoat on your boat, you can get 3m brand compounds and waxes at your local auto value, or marina

Answer 4

I use McGuiyers on the hull and cabin of my choylee offshore 41 and my 21' Grady White every spring and it makes them look new.
I also use a high speed buffer that is the key

Answer 5

3M Fiberglass Restoer Wax is very good and made just for that. At any marine store.

Answer 6

Wax won't do that. Use a good automotive rubbing compound and then a good paste wax. "boat' waxes are no better than the auto stuff from walmart, just 5 times the price.
