I'm one of those guys that grew up with a Somonize cleaner and separate wax and still look for good wax but too many years later I know I want a single application cleaner/wax and prefer the liquid because of easy application. Many good waxes but I am looking for some input as to what everyone thinks is best for lasting on the boat.

Mequires paste wax/ cleaner won't use anything else. Just finished doing the bassboat and it looks great. Best thing is it lasts all year.

In college my father and I ran a business that buffed and waxed boats. We used a product called UV 96 from high tech marine services out of Daytona Florida. This stuff is far superior to any wax. It’s polymer based. They are still around if you can get ahold of there products I guarantee you’ll be pleased!

Super easy to use apply with an orbital buffer and wipe off after you apply with some soft towels. Stuff is truly amazing. Me and my buddies did all the work for the company and people where always amazed with the results and the durability. I had this company in the mid 90’s. Stuffs still around because it works.

A product called “Protect All”. I use it on my truck, car, boat and 5th wheel. It’s very easy to use. Wipe on wipe off without allowing to dry. What’s really nice is you can do the vinyl and glass on your auto’s. I really like the results. I can do my truck in less than an hour. You can get it on Amazon or at Walmart in the RV section…🐟on

No it’s a product designed to bond with the gel coat of a fiberglass boat. The product you suggested seems very versatile.
