davew3 Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatdaddy Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 (edited) 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! Edited May 2, 2007 by fatdaddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaque Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 If you have any intentions of EVER touching up or repainting that Starcraft DO NOT use anything that has silicon in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misfish Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 (edited) PLEDGE Dont knock it til ya tried it. I got to wear the shades when I wax the red rocket. Edited May 2, 2007 by misfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 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.
