Ok, many of you guys are Pros when it come to this, and this advice is not for you, but I have had some really good sucess with a Cleaner Wax called SeaPower, It was pretty much fool proof, and took the oxidation right out of the surface of my boat. 1983 excalibur Hawk 40 ,RED!. Honestly when I bought it I dont think it had ever had a bath , But after two coats of this SeaPower it really started looking good. So good that I decided not to take it to a pro after I was finished. I urge all of you to try it out, to make your pre summer cleaning less of a hassel. You can get it at Boaters World for like $7.99 a bottle. Oh and Flitz on your metal works wonders. Just my .02. Hope it helps some of you do-it-your-selfers out.

Thanks, I'm going to give it a try.

Make sure it says "COLOR RESTORER" on the bottle, it seems that SeaPower has made some changes with their lines. I am not sure if the "cleaner wax" is the same as their "ColorRestorer"

I just used ROLLITE on my 84 Formula and it did a great job on the oxidation also. Seems only a select few can buy it though. If anyone knows where I can buy more ,please let me know. I need to replace this can and buy another. Long story on how I got this can.
