She's on the trailer in the yard :cry: Pulled everything out and will clean and sort all my "stuff" over the next few weeks in readiness for next year. Gave her a good pressure wash and already polished most of the exterior surfaces as a jump on the spring clean-up. Will finish that up tomorrow before the little goulies come knocking on my door.

Earlier this past spring, I mentioned that I was looking to switch from wax to polish. I know a lot of you are in the wax camp as was I, but after using this product I will never use wax again! I chose the Marine Polish with PTEF made by Starbrite. Easy on, easy off. All by hand. Water beaded up nicely all season. Just my 2 cents. Just bought an F350 and want to find out if it's good for metal surfaces too!
 
What kind of wax did you use before and did you also put it on by hand ? Is the Starbrite finish equal to the wax or almost and mainly a heck of a lot easier ? Thanks- I am getting ready to clean my 24 Grady-(I am new to the boat and have inside storage) Lew
 
3M, Meguiars, etc, etc, ... I've used many over the years. I have 2 buffing machines. A 6 and a 10. The Starbrite finish is equal or better depending on the condition of your gelcoat. iF It's in tough shape, try a color restorer or a cleaner wax before the Polish. It is not a miracle worker but it is easier to work with than wax. IMOHO.

Inside storage :wow Lucky!!!
 
Thanks My gelcoat is in pretty good shape. I will try the Starbrite by hand. Thanks again. Lew :<><
