Would this combo work on a boat?

Going to detail a friend's boat. I was thinking of using PB's Pro Polish w/ my PC, then top with Collinite paste wax.

Sounds good? Any other suggestions?
 
I don't know much about Collinite paste wax but PB PP is great on boats . Also PPC is a good one step product . It has carnuba in it already .
 
I would look into Meguiars Marine Line. I would also think ProPolish or AIO would do great to with any wax afterwards.

Where ya located in LA.

This might not be a bad idea. Then I would have some idea if I should do the same.:D
For the past two seasons I have used Klasse AIO with 4 Star UPP over it. Same combo I use on my minivan. Seems to work alright, but the boat is in a lift anytime we aren't using it so It doesn't get the abuse that some do. Prior to the AIO/UPP combo, I used Meguiar's Medallion for a lot of years.
Unfortunately, any pictures I have are really not very good.
 
Meguiar's does have a dedicated oxidation remover and a "Flagship" marine sealant that might be worth checking into.
:dunno

i did alot of testing back in 1985 for wolfgang at klasse on 200 mph drag boats and offshore boats I can tell you that NOTHING came close to the KLASSE you may need to polish the boat with a compound first but go over it with the AIO and then the klasse glaze if they still have it.
 
I personally think you need more of a cleaning step in there. I don't think your going to get that much more protection using PwC then Collinite afterwards. I would suggest using a good paint cleaner and/or mild abrasive first, then doing a protection step.
 
You can get pretty abrasive with boats.

Most pro boat detailers attack with compound and a wool pad on a rotary. The gelcoat can definatley handle heat better than paint.

I've only done 3 boats, but each one needed DACP and a cutting pad on the rotary. One coulda used a bit more, but I didn't have anything more abrasive.

I would also top with a sealant since Salt will eat wax away quickly. EX-P comes to mind :)
