Greetings to All,
I polished my Dupont Imron painted white hulls using Starbrite polish with PTEF. The process of cleaning the hulls and applying the product took four hours. A few weeks latter the sides of the hulls had dirty streaks. The hulls had small zebra stripes where water and dirty ran down the sides. I was unable to remove the dirty streaks using car wash cleaners. After trying many cleaning products, the only product that worked also removed the polish/wax. The Starbrite with PTEF is going in the garbage.
Does anyone have better luck with a different polish/wax? I use Classe All-In-One on my cars with good results. Should I try this on the boat?
You must of missed their other product, Black Streak Remover. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Waxing your hulls is just like waxing your car. Find the easiest product to use and you won't mind doing it more often and if the surface is new, a product with no cleaners or abrasives.
I would try the spray Turtle Wax. It comes in a green bottle. It goes on and comes off easy and leaves no white residue.
If you can find a sheeting wax that would be better. One that allows the water to run off instead of bead up.
