Default help deciding between wax

Just bought a 25 outlaw. Looking for a wax/polish. Was going to go with zymol that i had laying around the house. Figured I would look and see what everyone else is using Long story short did some research and way to many different kinds out there. Hope to get some input on just these four. What you use, like it, hate it, how to use or apply it.

Zymol
Collinite
Frenzy
Leverage

I have used the Frenzy and Leverage. In my opinion the Collinite 885 paste wax is a lot better for lasting protection. You must first get your surface properly prepped first because the 885 has no polishing or cleaning agents in it.

I've use McGuire boat wax. In my opinion all are pretty good. But nothing really lasts as long as we would like to believe ergo. You need to wax the boat more than you really want to--that labor of love stuff

I tried a few kinds and sort of made my decision based on which one allowed me to walk around without falling off.

Is that before or after a few drinks?

I always liked Frenzy vast you could use it in full sun. As my boat is on sale lift that was great.

Not a chance after a few drinks. Even sober it took skill. If you had socks on you were done instantly

Many good wax products on the market. I've used most of them over the years and I always go back to Collinite.
