Post subject:  How Far do you Polish & Wax
I finally pick up our boat from storage this weekend and getting ready for our season to start.... I had a time to spare yesterday morning so I cleaned up and waxed our boat. :D ... My Admiral was making fun of me that I was polishing and waxing under the hull (I was laying down under the boat /trailer on creeper)……
She says why I bother with where it will be under water………. Is it women thing? Or it was her way to saying it is a Mother’s day…. And I should do something other than being under a boat…. Is it me?....I can not figure them out… :roll:

I believe anything below the water line will wear off after a couple of uses. I usually wax as far below as I can reach, just so it looks nice :D .

I don't see the problem, you were doing work so she could have a fun summer on the boat :mrgreen:

I wash, but don't wax, the main running surface.

I wax all the way down the sides, but not underneath. Probably not going to hurt anything, but just to much of a PITA for me to wax underneath.

I do what impulse does, but I also hit the part of the V at the bow that gets wet but is not always in the water.

Same for me, maybe 6-8 inches into the water line (while on the trailer) but swimming under the boat with a can of wax doesn't seem to work well :lol:

If you bottom paint your boat, you cut your surface area for waxing down ALOT!

:D

I have a total newbie question.... How much above the water line are you suppose to wax? Around the top edge before the side? What about the exposed fiberglass inside your boat?

If it's fiberglass or painted and it's outside the waterline - wax it. But, if you use cleaners like windex to do your windows - when the residuals from overspray get wiped up, your wax will go with it.

i do my best to keep the inside of the boat clean, but I don't wax that area. I wax all surfaces possible on the outside of the boat though.

I will have to ask my Admiral when she gets home. She does all the waxing! :oops:

I intend to wax my '06 V278 for the 1st time this w/e so need some guidance. This is the plan - let me know if Im going wrong:

1.) Going to buy a variable speed polisher, wax and polish.
2.) Wash boat with warm water and boat soap and let it dry.
3.) Apply wax with rag and then work into surface with polisher (any preferred pad types? -brand names will be no good for me in Asia).
4.) Apply polish and machine into surface. Once again any preferred pad types to finish the job?

Do I wax and polish the none slip surface area's?
My problem is the boat is permanently in a marina so Im going to struggle to get to the hull bits just above the waterline.
Thanks
