Thoughts on waxing the hull?

[TBMsNautique]

Just pulled the boat and have thoroughly cleaned the water spots from the hull. I have read many different articles related to what kind of wax to use. Talk about confusing. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I typically use carnuba wax all over, but if there is something better to use below the water line, I'd love to know about it. In the past, I've sprayed wax on the bunks to get the spots I can't get to when the boat is on the trailer, but in doing that, I'm sure to never unhook the boat until it's backed well into the water as those waxed bunks can be very slick.

Ok guys, here we go!!

Formula 113 is a product I've been using for 11 years. I was a loyal DuraGloss user until this product was introduced to me while showing one of my cars at the Daytona infield. 113 is THE best, and easiest pure carnauba wax you will ever use. Why? Simply put, it's brewed in 55 gl. vats, as opposed to 3-5k gl. vats. No separation of impurities, because it's cooked off. That's the stuff that floats to the top of most waxes, and the reason you have to shake before using.

It can, and I do when it comes to the 196, use it in direct sunlight. NO PROBLEM!!. It has UVA/UVB blockers, blah blah blah.

Here's the best part. You can cut it with water, and spray it on almost anything. Glass, hard plastic, hard rubber trim, stainless steel, chrome, etc. Example, on my cars, the only place you can't use it would be the tires. But the hard rubber trim and plastic around the windows, no problem. Spray it on, and buff it off. Same with plastic mirrors. Shines them right up.

Remember, you're waxing, not using a "detailer", because you cut it with water. Or, use it right out of the bottle. They make a great detailer called BeadX. I use it everywhere, in the house, cars for a quick fresh up. On the Nautique, I use the 113 everywhere, except the vinyl and dash pod of course. That gets 303 protectant.

I detail my 196 every time I get her home. Get on my creepy crawler, and underneath the boat I go, with spray bottle in hand. Waxed in 15 minutes. Yeah I know, I'm Yellow_Flash_Colorz: ! What else is new? Yellow_Flash_Colorz:
