Don’t Wax – Relax!

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
Regular waxing is a simple, cost-effective way to keep your paint job
healthy and clean. Neglecting this important maintenance practice has
costly consequences – from increased frequency of cleanings to needing
a new paint job.
To maintain the paint job/gelcoat on your topsides and superstructure,
it is critical to wax at least a couple of times a season. Wax keeps your
gel coat and paint sealed, discourages dirt and staining, and offers protection
from harmful UV rays. Without this protection, sun damage will cause oxidation,
resulting in heavy fading and loss of your gloss finish.
The key to a good polish job is to determine what state the surface is
in and then proceed with the proper treatment and materials. A matte,
faded surface might need compounding and buffing. Stained but uniform-colored
surfaces suggest a cleaner followed by wax. Regularly maintained, glossy
surfaces will only require the re-application of wax.
Don’t ignore this important maintenance practice!
