Tdub Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Just curious. Has anyone used car wax such as Ice for your boat. Are there properties in boat wax that are meant for fiberglass that are not in car wax? Turtlewax Ice seems to work great but not sure if it is good for glass. And the automotive quick waxes work great as well. Thoughts? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kstateskier Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I prefer paint sealants over wax due to their longevity and my wipe down process includes spraying the boat down with a "fast wax" spray to help protect and clean. That being said for years and years before I found sealants I used Meguiars or Collinites wax on my boat and it always worked well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Skoot1123 Posted May 11, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 11, 2015 I have usually used a Marine Wax on cars myself - I find it wipes off much better and leaves a fantastic finish. Its a Meguiars Marine Wax in a Blue bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ lpskier Posted May 11, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted May 11, 2015 I use Nu Finish. I goes on very easily and lasts all summer. I use it on my cars as well, though I put it on my cars twice a year. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller GAJ0004 Posted May 11, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 11, 2015 Car wax is safe on a boat finish, the protection does not last as long. Nu Finish is good for a top coat after the finish is clean. The Meguiars flagship wax, or 3M protector wax are more effective for boats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ozski Posted May 11, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 11, 2015 My boat polisher guy who does nothing but boats told me to use Nu Finish.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller eleeski Posted May 12, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 12, 2015 What are you talking about? Wax is for mold release. Or ears. Is pool acid (the serious cleaning product) considered automotive or marine? Why would you want to remove that protective coating of dirt anyway?

Baller pumpinpete Posted May 12, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 12, 2015 Nu Finish is excellent I also have had great results with Mr Sheen spray on furniture polish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldjeep Posted May 12, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 12, 2015 Guess I'm old fashioned. I just use the Collinite 885 once or twice a year and then wipe down with Eagle One Marine Wax as you Dry. Whatever the pro detailer used right before I bought my boat was super shiny, slippery and lasted about 4 trips out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
