![]() (If oxidation has already started, you will need a rubbing compound, but all this will be covered in a future article.) Start with a good marine sealant and polish, preferably one of the new synthetic polymer-based types. A bright showroom shine or long-term protection? What is your location, and how is the boat used? A formula high in carnauba wax may be best for a short-term brilliant shine, but one with a hard polymer or glass-like coat and UV inhibitors may have the best long-term protection.Įven brand new boats need to have the gelcoat sealed and protected from the elements. In choosing which product is best for your boat, first decide what result you are looking for. In our perennial quest for a glossy boat exterior, we have expanded our tests to include a long list of waxes and polishes now sold in bottles. Thats over a hundred? And the turtle is like 10 dollars.In the February 2009 issue of Practical Sailor, we reviewed paste waxes, those harder compounds normally sold in cans or tubs. ![]() I dont know why but i keep remembering blackfire and SO12 or something like that. Im like ok.i looked on adams site but there are so many different types of ceramics and didnt quite match the name of the one my buddy is talking about. etc he wants to come over and he is going to one side or one panel of the car with some type of ceramic from Adams.so I can see., He keeps talking about how these new ceramics fir daily drivers is so amazing. You may have different results based on your color preference.įunny as I found over the years I can wash and spray wax the black corvette in literally 12 minutes flat using eagle one wax as you dry.then every six months i do the oribital polisher thing but a good friend of mine with a red vioer and the guy is super meticulous keeps raving about sometype of ceramic spray he is buying from adams that he put on his new jeep grand cherokee and his new wifes new mercedes. It's one of the only things that won't streak on black, especially if it's not completely cool. I had to go over the car a second time with one of my favorites, Meguiar's Ultimate waterless wash/wax. I tried the Meguiar's spray ceramic wash/wax, and while it leaves a good shine, it's a bit streaky on the black. I'm trying to join the change as technology has advanced while I wasnt paying attention. I see in the stores these days waxes have really been given a lot less linear footage and ceramics seem to be the wave of the future. I m assuming instead of the finisher (like a zaino spray i forgot the name of tonight) an old friend of over 20 years gave it to me. Wipe it down amd spray down and wipe with a finishing product that removes any polish or wax and offers a nice wet look. I've found over the years of owning a black corvette and daily driving it daily that every six months hitting it with an orbital polisher.with a one hour effort. I like the idea of a relatively easier to use spray one products so if I want to spend an hour every six months or so I can. Some of these wonderful products from the larger companies are a little more confusing. Thanks guys.so basically its hit the new car with a orbital polisher and then utilize one of these relatively easy ceramic spray like products. *70th Anniversary Combined Press Release For SR & Z06: * 2023 GM Bash Major Seminar with HQ video: *2023 SR & Z06 Official Owners Manual: and,
