Stoty Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hey guys, I'm getting a serious bout of "cabin fever", so I am going to get my Ranger prepared for it's first run by washing/waxing it. I have a jar of turtle wax for a car, I am assuming that's alright to use on the fibreglass? Or is there a special type of wax for a boat? Cheers, *Stoty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffBornFishin Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) From what I have been told special ingredients to protect the gel coat. Really helps with the UV protection. When I detail our boat it looks and feels amazing. Lasts a long time. I have a polishing machine and it cuts down the labour time.

misfish Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Pledge,floral scent. Dont laugh,pledge works.Thats what I used all the time and worked great. Just to save you some hassel.Be sure to wipe dry your boat when you take it out of the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIFTER_016 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Then three weeks later you have to winterize it again.... Actually it's "Then three weeks later I can put it in the water when the ice finally goes out" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
