time_traveler Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 I live in a desert climate what is the best wax to use to protect against the effects of the sun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynosback Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 That is like asking what is the best oil to use. You will get a TON of opinions. If there was truly a best wax made, all of the others would be out of business. I hope you find what best works for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 This is what we used and recommended when I had a boat company operating. Waxed twice a year we never had any fading or chalking on any of our hulls or decks. But you have to wax it religiously. We primarily built offshore fishing yachts, so salt water and UV exposure was gelcoats enemy. http://www.amazon.com/3M-Marine-Ultra-Performance-9-5-Ounce/dp/B0000BVELA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1455290146&sr=8-1&keywords=3m+marine+wax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hand or machine? If machine, what type. I have a Porter Cable Random Orbit polisher. Is that overkill for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 We always hand waxed the hulls and decks. But applying by hand and removing with a machine works as well. You will still need to do a final wipe with a micro-polish cloth to remove any residue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevekk Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 I use 303 on my fiberglass MH. It is really not a wax, but has a very nice shine, last a fairly long time and has UV protection. Just my 2 cents and an idea you might try. I have Zero oxidation. My MH is stored outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champ_49 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Use Mothers Carnuba wax and apply by hand 2 times a year. Unit is 6 yrs old now and have had many people say it still looks like new. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
