Collinite marine wax is good stuff. I've used it the last couple years. Upon Glassdave's recomendation, I just detailed the boat with Totally Buff followed by Vitreo. Wow! Made me a believer really quick.

Ive used collinite and it does work great for wiping off a weekends worth of scum line, but it is a bear to apply and remove. I've been using Turtle Wax Ice, but it seems to only last about 1 weekend, realistically. I've used Vitreo in the past, and still do occasionally - but again, it takes a lot of effort to remove.

Restructure marine polish. It is a nano based product. It does not yellow, goes on easy, a small bottle goes a long way, and really gives the finish depth and protection. Just be careful walking on the deck if it is wet.

I have been using it for years on the boat and vehicles. I use a small bottle that does the 42, trailer and two vehicles per season.

Watch the you tube videos on restoring the chalked red dory. They say it lasts up to three years. I redo once a year. Use this if you want a concours look.
