wax on, wax off, wax on, wax off

Post by Julian »

The prettier one has cleaned the hulls, they were white after all, long time no see...

Time for a wax to make her look all cared for (the boat you wags).

Why should I buy a boat wax rather than the far more reasonable turtle wax at the local motor factors. I mean wax is waterproof no? I accept the boat is a slightly wetter environment than the roads (not by much mind), but I do fear serious streaks (I set em up for you) if I use turtle wax, anyone used it or similar with success?

Is that like waxing lyrically?

I use Mer on the boat, if it's good enough for Sunday drivers and caravaners it's probably good enough for me.

It's a gift for baby princes like Frankincense. :D

Actually it is a top quality (& price) proffessional car wax used by classic car specialists. Google it.
