Sam, dont mean to hijack your post but this seems like the right place to ask this question.

Getting a new boat in a couple of weeks and was considering waxing it before the first launch. Was going to wax the entire hull including below the waterline. I thought I had heard some pros and cons of waxing the hull. Also was going to use Meguiars Boat Wax

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks
mike

As bark-int said the starbrite stuff with Teflon is top notch. My boat is a 1997 and I’ve never used anything but that polish. Boat is still in showroom condition. Nothing does more harm to glass than the sun. To keep it top notch shape you definitely have to work at it.

"New boat" Isn't this part of the dealer prep?
