Polishes

[Ian_Rob]

I haven’t looked at polishes for quite a few years but is there any boat wash/cleaner/polish/UV protection (all in ones?) for a white hull GRP boat that stand out above the others?

3M Perfect-It Gelcoat Light Cutting Polish + Wax [Product Code: MI3M-36110E] Seems to have good reviews.

My boat isn’t white, (light blue) but it is now over 40 years old and I still get compliments on how good she looks, which polish?
I usually use one of the Simoniz or Turtle liquid car polishes. Have tried the more expensive marine polishes but to be honest could see no difference.

Check out modern ceramic wax car polishes and cleaners. It's a different world!

2 Followed by an application of collinite 870 wax.

I have had this kit for nearly 10 years and it really works, my mate uses it on his dark Blue gel coat boat and nothing else he has used comes close. Takes me 4-5 hours to do our 37ft AWB.

I found the investment in decent stuff worth it.

I've used Collinite 920 Fiberglass Boat Cleaner followed by Collinite 885 Heavy Duty Paste Fleetwax for as many years as I can remember. It comes up really well, although I'm not convinced the wax lasts more than a couple of months.

Meguiare's polish and wax paste in a tin. A bit expensive but I didn't realise how good it was until the next year I used a cheaper well known brand.
