Posts: 186 | To clean your boat and wax it the only true one step and it's got a pretty self explantory name: 3M One Step Cleaner and Wax http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wc...&storeId=11151&partNumber=150526Teflon Boat Polish is good if you're boat is already clean (Not oxidized or yellowed). If you wax over that you're just waxing the dirt into your gelcoat pores. Same goes with Finesse It, plus of Finesse It is it's not actually a wax so it won't bead, if you're actually worried about the beading slowing you down, personally I'm just trying to keep my boat clean. | | | Re: Boat Cleaning

Posts: 4,119 Northfield Mn | I use a cleaner wax. Maguires, I use the paste, comes in a maroon can. I apply and buff using a foam pad, and a milwaukee 9" polisher. If I've got brown stains I'll wash the boat down with an acid to clean those up.
I'm boatless.

Posts: 5,590 Naples, FL | yeah, how does FSR work on those brown stains, Karl?
Are they from singlehanded spin douses at C gate in breeze?

Posts: 4,119 Northfield Mn | I use Iron Out. Stains usually show up anytime it's windy and I'm singlehanded, though not when I'm wearing a drysuit. Go figure.
