Default What wax do you use on your Formula?

Just wondering, what wax does everyone use on their Formula's? I'm going to wax my new to me Formula tomorrow before it goes on the new covered lift on Sunday. From there, it should get regular wash and spray wax jobs.

For the longest time i only used the Meguiar's flagship wax. it does an amazing job. I have since found someone that uses Polymers as opposed to using wax anymore, its a sealant. I think its better for gel coat boats.

I use a meguires sealant rather than was. I did buff it with ferecla g3 once then sealed it. This sealant is some rather amazing stuff. Has worked wonders on repelling scum line. Just rub it on and let it soak into the pores of the gel coat. You can rub it off but I found it works better just rubbing it in and letting it set. Best of all its very cheap.
g36516 is the part number if you google it.

Well, in a haste, I had my son go to West Marine and buy a bottle of Meguiars Flagship wax. I gotta get this boat on the lift tomorrow and I had to work all day Friday and today. So, we were able to get a good coat of the Flagship on her for now. I'll most likely pull her off the lift before the spring and revisit the wax thing. Meanwhile, I'll rinse/wash her after each use and try to spray wax her every other week or so to keep her as nice as she is. This boat is in unbelievable condition.

I had some Mother's VLR (vinyl, leather, rubber in a red bottle) stuff I had used on my other boat. I put that on the upholstery. Is there any thing that is better for the upholstery?

SE Cape Coral.
