Pick up some 3M Marine Restoring rubbing compound/wax. The stuff for "heavily oxidized" gelcoat. It worked pretty well on my Capri

I have been using plain old Turtle wax and it works well. Any auto carnuba based wax will work very well. There are also boat waxes that are carnuba based with additives that cost about 6 time the price of regular auto wax. I don't see the price justifying the product. The choice is yours.

Think for the 1st round Ill try my Mothers Paste wax that I use on our 71 VW Super Beetle show car and our 87 BMW 325ic speed demon. Ill keep my eyes posted for other stuff while Im out and about .
Thanx for the help.

Hello m8s..

I would not use wax at all..

Rub it out with your rotary buffer..polish it..and seal it ( not wax IMO ).

I use awlcare. you can google it.

Wax vs. sealer .. you can google it too

Id put links up..but that would seem biased..
