Wax On Wax Off

With colder weather on its way, we decided to get a coat of wax on Bliss before winter.  There are a few steps involved.  First, we wash the boat really well with diluted Simple Green, rinse well and towel dry.  Second, the surface was a bit dull, so we decided to polish the boat before waxing.  We used Collinite 870.  After using the polish, the surface shined like new.  Finally, we added a coat of 3M wax.  We will try the Collinite 885 wax next time.  The topsides and one side of the hull took us both ten hours - what a work out!
