Axis Wakeboard Boat Forum

What wax is everyone using when they do their annual or semi-annual wax jobs? Do you have dealer do it? Do you do it your self? I have a few light scratches on gelcoat I want to get rid of and was wondering if it would take those out also?

Wax doesn't remove them but a good buffing compound does. I've removed a few board marks with the 3m compounds they sell at napa.

Thx Walter. Have you waxed yours yet? If so, what did you use?

I've always used the meguires flagship on my crownline.

I use Leverage or Bow to Stern (a little known product in the wakeboat community but the bassboat guys love it to keep their hulls blingy)

I haven't really got down with a full wax job yet, after I get home I always wash the boat with soap and water and spray it down with either hot sauce http://boatbling.net/store/ or sea spot go http://www.seaspotgo.com/ then I rinse it and dry it with wax as you dry http://eagleone.com/wax-as-u-dry after that I usually use the quickie sauce or some kind of spray nanowax http://eagleone.com/superior-nanowax-spray I only wash it with microfiber towels and dry it with a bunch of waffle towels http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp ... 74_____BBV

so far this method has kept it looking like the day I bought it!!

Sometimes if its spotted real bad i'll hose it down and spray it with sea spot go or hot sauce then soap it up with a microfiber and then rinse and dry with the spray wax, and I always do only one side at a time to prevent one side from drying and spotting again, this west texas heat evaporates water faster than you can spray it

I used HD UMo and Collinte pasta wax.
Great result and easy to apply with porter cable

I use Babes the wash and the spray wax after each use. The boat still looks great, just a couple minor scrathes. I didn't know if you still need to do a full on wax even if I am using the spray wax that often?

I do a full clean/wax (hull and everything) once a year. Other than that I use 2 microfiber towels and a diluted solution of hot sauce/distilled water (60% hotsauce/40% water). The stuff is great
