I just picked up this wax / polish from the parts store. It is in a aerosol can. just spray on and wipe off. very easy to use and great results when you keep your boat clean to begin with. I hear a lot of people use Meguiers (sp?) spray wax also.

starbrite marine polish with teflone works great and stays on in salt water

Stay away from any product with teflon. It cooks your gel coat. The 3M stuff works the best for me.Wardey

This is the stuff I use its a spray on wipe off product also, but you dont have to wash your boat before. works great

I love starbrite wax with telfon it works great. But to do a job on a boat that need a little TLC. I use 3-m products.

The best buffing compound I have found is Wizzards finish cut. It works great on fiberglass. Then I like to put 3m hand glaze on top of it. I was told wax is not the best thing for gel coat finishes. The Wizzards can be bought at any koi in the Cincinnati area.

It`s called making a phone call .I called starbrite ,They were great ,Telfon does not cook your boat . I talked to them about 2yrs ago and I talked to McGuire`s they do about 5% research on boat`s. Starbrite Does about 90% on boat`s.
The telfon wax is great( but slippery as hell when wet ).I buy it by the case.

3-M, I love them . If you need to get a job done use them.
