Re: Aqua-Buff vs. 3M
 

Dang, where was that when I was looking a month ago?! That's exactly what I was looking for, but could only find the small containers of 1000.

Here is the stuff I've used. I have not used other higher quality stuff before to compare it to but I can say it smells good! Haha! The shine lasted from July to sept before needing to be touched up after multiple washings.
The compound I used the first time and the polish an wax since. Just use the correct pads. I had to order them online.

Interesting. Were on line did you get it? I might give it a try next season.

DnS Paint here in Pueblo. I was amazed they had it. I don't know if you remember the post I put up about waxing and buffing but the guy who did that write up used that stuff. He was a professional and seemed to favor it. I think I spent right around 100$ on the 3 items plus a buff pad.
I recall needing to use a squirt bottle with the compound. It liked to be moistened. Forgot to mention that earlier.

Re: Aqua-Buff vs. 3M Marine Restorer and Wax
 

I have a question about waxes in general. How is everyone waxing the textured walking areas? Wax builds up an is a pain. Is there a trick I'm missing out on?

I usually do a real light coat if any on the non skid areas. One time I did a thick coat and not only was it a pain but it was way too slippery and dangerous. So I usually don't do those areas like the outer hull. But when I do, I use a cotton rag and scrub it by hand.

Thank you for the pictures. Mine are below. That's what I thought about the snaps. I really don't want to replace them all. It would be a mess. Just need to make do with what we have I guess.

I will just hold my wife by her ankles to put the cover on.

I am using the Meguiars fiberglass restoration kit and it is working great. It is an oxidazation remover, high gloss polish, and a wax. For something with UV protection I am finishing it up with Mirror Glaze 21 paint sealant. 21 is the best paint protectant/sealant I have ever used, it is tougher and it lasts much longer then any wax. I will post some before and after pictures when I get back out there.
