Is this the Turtle Wax that you apply on a wet surface then just wipe off like I use on my car? In any case, your hull looks great!NiceAft wrote:I have been waiting to post a photograph until I have actually washed and waxed my white.
There are many varied products, with different levels of work involved. I like good results with less effort![]()
Here is a picture of Nice Aft after washing and using good old Turtle Wax (squeeze bottle). Easy on, and easy off. I have been using this for most of the twelve years I have owned Nice Aft. You just do not need any expensive, or technical procedures.![]()
Easy on and easy off with great results. As they say, “a picture is worth a thousand words.” By the way, being a white hull, reflections don't appear as vivid as a dark colored hull, yet look at the results.

Yes.
Turtle Wax Hardshell in a squeeze bottle. The same stuff you use on your car.
Wash, compound, wax, lunch. The paste wax version does not state “last twelve months”, the squeeze bottle does.

Re: New glass 2
I always assumed there was a difference in the actual polish product between what should be used for a;
- metal car with a paint finish
verses
- fiberglass boat with a gelcoat finish
Or is this just all marking ploys?
