Been spending a lot of time waxing. She is shining really good. But now the deck looks dull and crappy.

What are you guys using to polish the deck while avoiding being to slick?
Thanks ahead of time.

Woody wax

Woody works well. No slip. The bad is that it is petroleum based and will evaporate in the sun after a month or two. It does work well to bring the color back on the non-skid and hardtop. It also protects from blood, seagull droppings and other stains on the gelcoat.

To keep them looking good, also add starbrite deck cleaner with PTEF to your regular cleaning and maintence routine.

I also agree on Woody wax. Follow the directions to the letter and keep in mind that right after brushing the deck, it will be seriously slippery until the coating dries ( buffed with a towel)
Yes, it is quite expensive but at least it works. It works pretty well on metal too, both aluminum and SS.
