Hi Ya'll!!
Skinny Dippin' has previously had a less than perfect paint job on her topsides. The PO had replaced the decking on the sides and bow and then tried to match the paint to the gelcoat. (good news/bad news) The result was a very flat and oxidized looking finish. What we have is a finish that is impossible to get clean without the use of magic erasers. Diesel soot sticks in the pores of the finish.
I know waxing will not make the finish shiney, and I'm okay with that. But I would like to use a simple wax to try to keep her a little cleaner and hopefully make the actual cleaning easier! Something that I can apply without a buffer is best, because the buffer will burn right through this bad paint job. Ask me how I know that?
What are your thoughts on waxes?
