Best Boat Wax ?

[davew3]

I was thinking of waxing my Starcraft which is aluminum with enamel paint and I am wondering if good old Turtle Wax would be good enough or is there a brand out there highly recomended ?

Any input would be appreciated.

I use the 3M Purple polish, it is not cheap but a little goes a long way. It is suitable for both fibreglass and Aluminum. Lasts for a full season without reapplication. Makes cleaning the boat MUCH easier!

I use 3M products for the vehicle, they are pretty much the shizzy for detailers and weekend washers alike. Worth the cash. For the boat, i just use Zymol.........goes on and comes off easy as can be and really brings any fade out of my dark blue gelcoat (fiberglass boat). Cleans up real nice with just a wipe with a damp towel after a day on the water. Not sure how well it would work on enamel paint?

If you have any intentions of EVER touching up or repainting that Starcraft DO NOT use anything that has silicon in it.

Thanks Irishfield, that I did not know.

i personally use Zaino or meguirs on my car... Zaino lasting alot longer, not sure how it would work for a boat tho?

Pledge is a mulit purpose tool. Works well on plastic windscreens as well.

 

You can come by and do mine Brian....I'd rather spend the time fishing, or anything for that matter than waxing a boat/car/airplane. Rain...natures car wash.
