What is the best type of wax to use on the boat...I have a 21ir that is red and I want to give it a good cleaning and wax it... Has a few dull spots.

Any of the Mother's products...or Meguiars auto waxes are a good bet.

I use a caranuba wax twice a year. One at the beginning of the year and one at the end of the year. During boating season, we use the Babe's Boat Bright which has a small amount of wax in it. Very, very easy to clean after the outing on the lake.

I can send you a sample of FLITZ. Once you use it though you will not use anything else. That stuff is the best hands down.

Flitz is good stuff, I use McGuire's Metal Polish, works just as good and is carried by my local Auto Body Supply store.

I read a wax evaluation once in "Powerboating Review", a now defunct consumer reports type magazine and they tested a ton of waxes and they liked Collinite Wax the best. If you saw how badly my boat needs waxed you would never trust me for wax advise though. :-)

I just detailed an all red crownline LPX yesterday and i should have taken before and after pics, the owner who is a very good friend of mine takes really good care of the boat and waxes it once in a while, i buffed it with a product from malco called rejuvinator and i could not even believe how faded the gel was when i saw the difference between buffed and not buffed, my friend was blown away, we both thought it looked great before, let me know if you would like some, it is all i will use from now on, by the way you dont have to buff with it, you use it by hand.

Stay away from Carnubas,, they will yellow your hull.
We use silicon spray and wipe.

Raindance or Eagle One spray and wipe wet or dry and we get constant comments on the looks.
Controls water spotting excellent.

I have used the Eagle One Wax. Someone on here recommended it and so far it works great. Love the way it smells too.

I have to agree with wake bandits stay away from wax it yellows and melts from the heat of the sun, stay with a good marine polish such as driven products, they have a whole line of marine based products there web site is driventoperfection.com.

I agree that the spray waxes work good, but only as a quick shine, they dont last long and will not give you the ability to get scratches out or give you the protection that a good creme wax will

I use Wax As U Dry for clean-up. We do a serious wax about 2-3 times a season depending on use.

To much silicone is bad also. It will dry out the gel over time and crack it. Flitz is a polish. The thing I like about flitz is the guarantee that comes with it. If you use it and it dose not work as they say you can get your money back from Flitz. If you want a sample I have about 30 sample packs left. They are very small samples but you can do one small spot on you boat and try it out. Email me your address and I will send you samples. andrew@automarinecare.com

I really like the BABES BOAT BRIGHT for clean up. We detail at the start of the season and the end of the season. I can see a mile into my boat. The depth is great when looking at yourself in the gel coat.

The rejuvinator does not have anytype of silicone in it.
