Marine polishing and Wax

[TomG]

I am getting ready to commission my boat. I would like to detail it before I put it in thes year. The finish is in good condition. was thinking of a medium cutting polish or a light rubbing compund then followed by a good wax.

What would you recommend as far as what type of polish and what type of wax (carnuba/teflon)?

Thanks

I`d go with a synthetic. I`ve used Klasse AIO/SG on boats in the past with great success. Durable, nice shine, and no friction in the water!

I thought Collinite made a complete line of excellent marine waxes.

SG is Klasse Sealant Glaze.

I think he is saying that he used Klasse AIO followed by Klasse Sealant Glaze.
Lots of good products out there for marine use. I happen to use Meguiar`s Flagship Premium Marine Wax.

That is indeed what I was saying. I never bothered to look for good marine sealant/wax, since I already had the Klasse and it worked fine for me.

I suspect that products developed specifically for marine use might have some advantages, so might be worth a look.

The finish on the boat is in pretty good shape. Should I use a polish (if so what grade?) or should I use a light rubbing compund?
