I`ve got a big a$$ boat coming over today that I will have for two days. Its a large fiberglass so I was thinking about PB P-w-C for the outside.
Does anyone know if you should put a sealant on?

I have never needed to actually polish the fiberglass, so I haven`t used the PC on it. The AIO/UPP seems to work fine. When I take the boat out in the fall, I clean the hull with Clean Shower. Just spray it on and wipe it off. Then comes the AIO and UPP, both by hand. The boat is in a covered lift and I wash it a few times during the season, so it isn`t too hard to clean up. I clean the vinyl with a Woolite & water solution, 6 parts water, one part Woolite. I treat all the vinyl with 303 that I buff the heck out of a few hours after application. Doesn`t seem to leave the vinyl slck enough to be a problem. The carpet, I just vacuum. I might have to brush a few places to loosen any mud or caked dirt while vacuuming, but have never had to actual wash it. If I did, I think I would use my 12:1 APC+. The swim deck on the rear, I just clean with my Woolite & water solution. Wax or sealant seemed like it would be a bad thing in that area. It is textured fiberglass, but I was always afraid it would be slick with wet feet on wax or a sealant.
The bilge and engine, I just wipe down with a towel and the 12:1 APC+.
Lots more than you were looking for, but when I get started, I never know when to shut up.

Good luck on it. Now that I think of it though, I would have used EX-P if it were available then. I just bought a gallon of it to do a couple RV`s. Either route you`d be in good shape.
