Took a lot of web surfing, talking to suppliers but I think I have finally identified a good product:

Fiberglass Boat Cleaner (No. 920)

Fiberglass Boat Wax (No. 925)
http://www.collinitemarine.com/products.htm#920

And to apply and buff the boat:

Variable-Speed Random Orbit Polisher 7424XP

My entire day was spent polishing and waxing the boat, but it came out awesome. I can definitely recommend these products....

Sun is setting, but just look at that finish...

Problem: While I was polishing the hull, I noticed some Silicone Sealant where the deck and hull joins, and promptly polished it off....now we're taking on some water when the wake hits the lip :)

Will be busy this weekend, sealing it again :)

On another forum, someone also posted this....may be worth a try:


Been using Colinite #885 paste wax for years. It give a much better finish than the #925 boat wax.

Apply a second coat about 3 weeks from now. Wet on, wet off. Apply and remove by hand. You can go back over it with a buffer but I prefer to do it by hand.
