Polishing and keeping GRP shinny.

[CalicoJack]

On our 1980 GRP yacht we have always at haul out time cleaned the hull, then applied four coats of 3M's polish and finally two coats of International Wax sealer. The results have been very pleasing, and have lasted all year, but now International in there wisdom have stopped making the wax sealer.

Has anyone any suggestions of a similar product?

Thanks in advance.

3M boat wax? http://www.3mdirect.co.uk/c-1079-boat-wax.aspx

Thanks for that. I looked at their site and missed it. Then I phoned them and they didn't mention it!

I used the 3M wax last year after a thorough polishing. The polish is a hard wax and not the easiest to apply but hull remained cleaner and was much easier to prepare this year. I would recommend it.

Anyone tried this? Not much info about it on the website but I assume that it's quite course for badly oxidised GRP.
