Boat Wax Alternative?

bigdog · 04-07-2011, 06:45 AM

Hi Folks......

Getting ready for Spring cleanup of boat exterior and looking for a wax alternative, prefereably something with a polymor or silicon base.

In the past I've used a product called 'Race Glaze', which is a polymor base, but at $18 for a 16oz bottle, a little expensive. Product is also difficult to find, only 1 store in tri-state I know which carries. It is however, an amazing product though, gives a mirror glaze & shine. I also use on cars.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
BD

See Rick at Ship Shape marine works. I've been getting my wax from him and had great results. On the other side if your really happy with a product then price should not be an option. Find it and buy it in bulk.

Mequiar's Flagship Premium wax is a synthetic polymer and it not carnuba based. Has UV protection as well. This is what I use.

We have used the Collinite product line for our 1983 sailboat every year. Beautiful results.
