I've used FSR (even helped with a rust stain or two), and do use a teflon based polish on the hulls. Makes things look great, and as I am a believer in "clean is fast", I think it helps. Of course, the effort to polish/wax the hulls is somewhat tantric in itself, which probably helps in getting your boat "zen". All those little chips and dings you see/fix while doing this probably helps...

The only drawback with the teflon based waxes/polishes (from what I hear) is that it may be hard to do small scratch repairs due to the teflon coating (probably have to remove it first with light sanding) but I've never had a big problem. Of course, handling a wet hull on the trailer is pretty dang slippery, too!

Even though I may not finish first, I finish looking good!
