I am getting ready to commission my boat. I would like to detail it before I put it in thes year. The finish is in good condition. was thinking of a medium cutting polish or a light rubbing compund then followed by a good wax.

What would you recommend as far as what type of polish and what type of wax (carnuba/teflon)?

Thanks
 
I'd go with a synthetic. I've used Klasse AIO/SG on boats in the past with great success. Durable, nice shine, and no friction in the water!

I thought Collinite made a complete line of excellent marine waxes.

I think he is saying that he used Klasse AIO followed by Klasse Sealant Glaze.

That is indeed what I was saying. I never bothered to look for good marine sealant/wax, since I already had the Klasse and it worked fine for me.

I suspect that products developed specifically for marine use might have some advantages, so might be worth a look.

collonite, I find is very good finishing products. if you need anything for compounding, I usally use 3M finnesse it. It works great. I think it only comes in GAllons, so if you dont want that much, try any 3m or megs marine lines for the compounds or things like that.

And that IMO, is the biggest drawback in using Collinite products, finding it.
They are not available at any of the local outlets in my area.
To try their Insulator Wax, I had to order it on-line from a company that I didn't need anything else from. That meant the entire shipping cost was for the Collinite. It ended up being around $22 for the Insulator Wax.

The finish on the boat is in pretty good shape. Should I use a polish (if so what grade?) or should I use a light rubbing compund?
