I use Zymol Marina to wax my boat. BassBoatSaver to wipe it down and keep it looking good between waxes. Typically wax every three to four months, depending on use.

Oh, and welcome

What do you use?

I can`t remember off hand what brand I use, but the guy at the Marine shop said it was the best out there. I wax mine twice a year and use Bass Boat Saver everytime it comes off the water.

But only on old cars.

I used to use the "wax shoppe" brand clear wax, but they sold out to wax depot. The only place to get it is waxdepot.com . It's called "VIP clear wax". As far as I'm concerned this stuff cannot be beat. I have detailed boats and vehicles for several years and all the way through college, and i still do when I'm free. Alll of my customers have been amazed at how great this stuff works. It never leaves a white residue and won't discolor plastic trim like ordinary wax will.

I wax my boat 3-4 times per year with this stuff. I catch oxidation before it gets out of control by using 2-3 coats of polishing compound on the trouble areas (usally on the cap where direct sun light bakes on the dark colors) followed by a few coats of of the VIP clear wax. I use bow to stern in between waxes.

If the lake I have been fishing doesn't have muddy or scummy water, then I wipe down with a microfiber towel immediately after getting off the water. Otherwise, I rinse the boat off at home with water only, then apply BTS with a sponge and buff it in with a microfiber towel.

3m marine wax from academy works well for me I have a 94 model Skeeter that looks good as new. I wax it two or three times a year and use Lucas slick mist after every use both products are easy to use.

I use some spray stuff called The Pink Stuff after every trip. I usually wax it once every 4-6 weeks.

bow to stern. i used to wax it but feel that the bts gives it a deeper shine. i put it on every 3 months and just wipe it down after getting off the water each time.

Depends on how mama feels when she gets home from work if it gets waxed

I use 3m and usually wax it 2 times a year. Try to also use Bow to Stern in between.

Seems to work good.
