While checking some stuff in my owners manual for my 1993 Chris Craft I noticed a section on fiberglass care. They advised against using automotive products since they were intended to protect paint. They strongly suggested the use of a fiberglass boat wax since it would fill the pores of the fiberglass gel-coat.
Since I have alway used automotive products on my boats, this brings up a question. Is the marine wax really different? Should I be using a fiberglass wax to "fill the pores"? Hey, one more bottle of wax isn`t going to make much difference in my collection.
The manual was probably written in 1992 for inclusion with a 1993 boat, so the information could be outdated. Wax and sealant technology has come a long way since then. By the same token, boat wax has probably also come a long way.
