sparky Posted May 12, 2023 Report Share Posted May 12, 2023 I know a few of us polish their own boats, was just wondering on what you use and recommend ? Have been using Starbrite Heavy Duty cleaner wax for a few years, but was thinking of trying something else. Any ideas please?

Jim Posted May 14, 2023 Report Share Posted May 14, 2023 You can if your wallet is big enough Mick. I used to protect my boat from the sun by growing veg all over it. 😃 fisherman1055 and sparky 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve S Posted May 15, 2023 Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 The whole 3M range is good. Tip: When using the 3M wax or the light cut and wax put some into a bowl and mix with a little water. It thins out a little and can be brushed on or sponged on the hull directly, this ensures an even coverage with minimal waste. Then use a polisher, the last step is a dry cloth to remove the wax not polished in. This maximises the coverage of the really quite expensive polish, I've been doing this for years. Note: the 3M range will mix with water quite well, some other brands won't. Jim, sparky and fisherman1055 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Thomas Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 In a similar vain I always try to keep the applying cloth damp, similar results. I have used Meguiars boat wax and found it to be long lasting. A bit late to this thread struggled to spell Meguiars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky Posted May 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 Thanks for the replies to my post guys. I got the 3m in light cut and wax in the end, but wouldn't use it again. Tried little bit water as suggested , but it was still hard work in the hot , sunny, and sometimes windy weather. Thanks again.

Jim Posted May 28, 2023 Report Share Posted May 28, 2023 Next year, find a boat polisher who needs a bit of sparky work doing ! Mutual "back scratching" 👍 Jim sparky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
