Hey Guys

I made it easier to see this video by posting it on U Tube. It says the
video was shot in 2007, but it was7/9/09.

Here is the link: YouTube - Boat Detailing without wax or compound
I hope you find it informative.

Enjoy

I wanted to mention that most boat soaps contain wax. and that is what
caused the dulling on the hull. I did not mention that in the video.

So constant sun and sal````er had nothing to do with it?

Was the not-washed part submerged (i.e. out of the sun)?

So you`re telling me the unwashed side - the side that doesn`t have "wax buildup" as you call it - didn`t get direct sunlight? And you say that a wash shampoo "caused" this "wax buildup?" And it just happened to be the side that didn`t get full-on sun that looked good.

I`m just curious if you may be referring to oxidation - which may or may not be aided in appearing by using a wax. (i.e. clogging the pores of the gelcoat)
