best fiberglass wax????

[Embrey]

anybody know a GOOD wax that will keep a shine on a boat? i buffed mine out last year and tried some, but it didnt stay shiny more than a day or two. need something that will coat and not need constant buffing to keep it that way.

You might need to reapply gelcoat.........

It might be all worn off, and if it is, I don't think wax will stick...........

[Embrey]

no, its buffing out pretty slick. its just oxidized something fierce. the guy that had this need kicked in the balls

Don't know if it's oxidizing that fast?? but I've been using the new Bow to Stern conditioner, called "BTS" Got my 91 Bumble Bee shining like it's show room floor new. Highly recommend it.

I found some wax at wall mart that had teflon in it. It was on clearance and did a real good job. Inbetween waxes I use Bass Boat Saver and it kept the shine real well.

Get a Tin boat and then you wont haft to worry about waxing.

Meguiar's Flagship is a good one, 3M works too, but if it's oxidized you will have to get that off before getting a good wax job on it. I'll wax mine 2-3 times a year, hit it with BBS every couple of trips and it looks pretty good for a 13 year old bass boat . . .

Not sure where you are at, but in west KY, in the Grand Rivers area, a marina called Green Turtle Bay sells a brand of stuff I can't find anywhere else without ordering.

Collinite Wax

I worked at the Dry Stack at the marina, running the forklift, and waxing boats on slow days for side money during my high school summers. Collinite Wax is by far the best I've used, so much so that I use it on my truck too - it really lasts a long time!

There's a cleaner available too that preps the surface - it helps you get a good bond with the actual wax. With that one-two punch you'll have an amazing shine!

Here's the manufacturer's website:

Not many know of it.

thanks, but ive talked myself out of wax since i tried a few types last year and it still oxodized horrible. since i have it buffed out now, i found some gelcoat sealer that is supposed to close off the pores so it cant oxidize anymore. gonna give that a try first

Just reading your thread and if I were you I would call a fiberglass man and ask him what you can do to it. I don't know where you are at but there is a man in Jeffersonville indiana by the name of Guy Voyles that owns American Boat and Yaht that is the best. You can call him @ 502-314-6347. He can fix you right up. If you ever go to the Louisville boat show he always has a booth there.
