Wax....

[kcvega]

Are any of the boat waxes any different or better than a good car wax?

Waxes are like pickups and boats. All mfgs are going an excellent job - and are all competing for the same market. Any of the upper name brands are great. After working in body shops growing up and continuing to keep paint nice through my years, I have found a few things.
Typically, the easier the wax is to put on/off, the shorter it's life span. A spray-on wax, for instance, as it will say on the label, is for EXTENDING the life of you existing wax, not for long term. Probably lasts about a week or so (between washes). A liquid wax can be very thin and easy to apply and remove. Usually about a month or so of coverage. A good paste wax can be a bear to apply and wipe off - but will last a few more months.
I have been a fan of Meguiars and really find their products to be quality stuff. I use the #26 Professional carnauba. It comes in paste or liquid. It seems to last quite well in either form. The biggest benefit is that it does not turn white when it dries. If it happens to get left along a door handle or an edge of weatherstrip, you don't see it. Having either red or dark blue vehicles - this is important for me.
The Wax Shop SUPER GLAZE is real nice stuff for easy-on-easy-off and it really brings out color. Only lasts a couple of weeks, especially in the summer, but it looks nice while it is on there.
I saw an ad for a new Turtle Wax product that is clear as water. Supposed to be long lasting. You might hunt that new product down and try it.
Hope it helps.

Like boats and electronics - you get what you pay for.

I use a product called Flash. This stuff works really well, but can only find it at automotive paint supply locations. A guy I know that paints only high end hot rods turned me on to this stuff and let me tell you I think it's better than any wax I've used in the past.

I agree. I used to use Meguires but the Driven product is hands down the best stuff I have ever used. The only problem is that it will make your deck so slippery that you really have to be careful not to slip.

I really like the Frenzy products. You can get them from Warlock25 on the boards. It is very easy to use. And smells good too.
