I'm thinking of changing my maint procedures this summer, just too much work. It takes me a good 2 days to work thru the basics each quarter.

For years, I have waxed non-skid areas with Aurora sure step, including cockpit,walkways, decks in front of the windshields on my 330 /360. Used compound to remove grime and oxidation, then cleaner, then wax. I recently tried Woody Wax in the cockpit after a thorough cleaning, and it seems to be working fine.

For those of you with topside decks, walkways, cockpits, etc, do you use one approach or multiple? How do you prep, clean, wax, etc?

I like Woody Wax best following a thorough cleaning too. It's pretty easy to apply, so I usually put it on every 3-4 weeks.

I second the Woody wax. You have to follow the instructions and be careful, After it is applied, but before you towel it, it is really slippery.
