New boat with cleaning questions

[mturnerua]

I recently got a new NauticStar deck boat and it is the first fiberglass boat I have owned. I wanted to get your thoughts on the plans I have for keeping it cleaned and protected.

Vinyl - 303 Aerospace Protectant
Deck - Star Brite Non-Skid Cleaner Non-Skid Marine Deck Cleaner/Protector, Gallon - Star Brite 085900N - iboats
Hull - Star Brite Power Pine Wash & Wax POWER PINE WASH & WAX 32 OZ - Star Brite 94732 - iboats Also wax the hull every few months with Star Brite Cleaner Wax with PTEF POWER PINE WASH & WAX 32 OZ - Star Brite 94732 - iboats

Thanks for any input.

I would suggest Woody's wax for the Non-Skid
Also I like to use 3M finesse it polish and 3m ultra wax after

Isn't the Woody's an after wash wax? So could I use the Star Brite to clean and then use the Woody's to wax the deck?

Yes
You would wash all dirt off surface before woody's

Sounds like an excellent plan to me. I have done the Woody's Wax after Star Brite Non-Skid on my swim decks and it does seem to have some added benefits. Don't know if I would be up to doing the cabin deck with Woody's due to the way it has to be done.

Add Fantastic and a soft brush to clean your vinyl.

And rags. Lots and lots of rags. A big tube of Ben-Gay is also useful.
