i use the Blue Ice brand of wax….at least im 99% sure its that, and i do it the old fashion way, by hand….have had great success to the point that my dad has slipped over the side twice while getting in and out…hehe…make sure to use a toothbrush to get any extra residue off of the stickers and pin-striping…..makes it look a lot cleaner and more finished looking
I always use a buffer when waxing the SKEETER lol. Depending on how rough the surface is I will either just wax it or do a cleaner/polish 1st then wax. Usually thats just once a year then wax after that. I use nothing but Meguiars!!! After detailing as long as I have I am sold with their products for boat or truck.
As for a buffer I have a Meguiars dual action buffer. Porta Cable makes the same one. Then 3M pads…Polishing and then a finishing.
I use BassBoatSaver. Use it everytime you pull it out of the water before the scum has a chance to dry. I use Wonderfoam on the motor. Usually spray it on, let it set for a few minutes and rinse off. It really does a good job on the scaly build up on the lower end.
