Subject: RE: Waxing Alum Boat

3M Fiberglass Cleaner and Wax worked well for me. It was a painted (white) boat, however, so I'm not sure how it would work if your boat is bare aluminum. It's a compound, so it takes some of the paint away (not noticeably), so it's not good to do all the time. I used to do it once a year and then put turtle wax on after that. Each time the boat is taken out of the water rub it with a sponge and water and dry with a towel (assuming you don't have it in the water all season). It can be tedious, but you won't have any future stains to worry about.

I clean the bottom with 409 or some other household cleaner. I don't think that created any problems and it helped give it some extra shine.
