I will have an opportunity to lift the boat(The 206) off of the trailer to wax /buff the bottom hull. Can anyone recommend a top-end wax to use in this case? ------------- ...those who have fallen and those who will. |

I'm not suggesting you do this but I might try using the floor finish(Zep Wet Look) that I used on the sides and deck of my Ski Tique. It made them smooth and glossy. Not sure how it would work for the bottom, but would probably last longer then wax would.
I'll have to try it and report back. |

Is this different from the Fleetwax? I used the Collinite Fleetwax with good results. It takes a bit of elbow grease to buff in, but it comes out good. |

I don't think there is that much difference between the Collinite versions to warrant buying something slightly different.
If you have fleetwax, then that is what I would use. It doesn't last that long on the hull anyway. But it does give a feeling of satisfaction to give it a coat of wax while it is off the trailer! ------------- “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Ben Franklin |

Vinegar and water first to get it clean, then a couple of coats of Colonite. I have some of he per cleaner, but haven't tried it so I don't know if it helps or not, couldn't hurt though if you have to order it. I do my hull usually back to the windshield and it seems to last about as long as the rest of the boat.
I'd be intrested to know if you get any speed or MPG out of it. |
