Just playing with ya JJ...

As for wax -- I'm a bit of a nut with my cars.   Here are some things I've found with different car waxes.   First off, Meguair's makes what in my opinion is the best wax on the planet.   Here are some tidbits from my experiences with various products:

Meguair's #25 Yellow paste wax: probably the best all-around wax

Meguair's Cleaner Wax: very mild abrasive qualities, great for removing surface contaminants, mild oxidation, and probably the brown streak from fishing those nasty places down South!   If you're a once-a-year-guy, this is your wax.

Meguair's Swirl remover 2.0: a little more abrasive -- good for light scratches.

Meguairs Scratch-X -- like the name implies -- most abrasive of the three.   Won't scratch, but it will thin the clear coat of you go nuts with it.

Meguairs Gold Class liquid: goes on and comes off super easy -- probably the fastest application, and since it comes off easy its less work than the #25.   But it doesn't seem to last as long as the #25.

Meguair's Gold Class paste:  Goes on fairly easy, lasts a bit longer.  Repels water nicely.

Not sure if they make any products that are marine specific, but It's all I use on my cars.

If you can find Blue Coral wax  (not sure they make it anymore) their 100% caranuba wax is awesome.   It's a lot of work to wipe off but it lasts a good 6-8 months.

All of them turn black plastic/rubber white, and nothing I've found ever gets rid of the white.   Some products (like Mother's Back to Black) hide it for a while, but it comes back.  Best off not getting wax on it in the first place.[/QUOTE]
