Much like your own skin, proper care of the outer layer of your Boat Fiberglass Hull is essential to maintain a fresh, youthful and quite simply great look! This layer of resin not only provides a glossy colourful finish but also seals the fiberglass against water and moisture.
Here are some top tips to keep that alluring shine:
- It all starts with an oxidation remover and buffer to remove all those little imperfections. Sounds like a pain but a little bit of elbow grease will go a long way.
- Once you have parted with the buffer, focus on the consistency of wax needed to apply as a base coat. Even though the liquid wax is much easier to apply, the thicker consistency is the better option for your hull. Not only will it last longer, a thick paste will also provide better protection – so just put in that extra effort.
- Once you have applied the double coat of protective wax, now you can take the easy route for the final coat. Lean toward a wax with a liquid carnauba-based product.
- Fresh water is a definite ally and great friend. After every jaunt out on the boat be sure to give it a proper fresh water wash. You don’t want the saltwater to dry up and create those evil crystals that will just magnify the sun’s rays and cause havoc on your waxwork.
