I always wonder about this scenario. What surfaces do you intend to wax?

My $.02: I don't think I'd want to wax a surface that is stepped on as it would make it very slippery when wet and create a safety issue. People used to say that waxing the surfaces in the water can cause all sorts of drag and actually slow the craft. I don't know if that concern is valid.

I kind of think about all of this in terms of applying dressing to motorcycle seats and motorcycle tire sidewalls...it could really spoil your day.
