Why does everyone talk about having to wax them all the time? Also I have heard that the sun can ruin them is that true?
I don't own a fiberglass boat so keep that in mind but:
I've done lots of research and haven't heard anything about having to wax them all the time. You can wax an aluminum boat if you want too. Not sure it's necessary either. Sun will take a toll on anything if exposed enough for a long enough period of time. Leave an aluminum boat outside for 10 years, and the paint is going to fade. I'm always surprised at how much fishing reels fade over the years (just think, your skin was exposed for roughly the same length of time! Good reminder to cover up and use sunscreen).
It takes care and some dedication to keep any boat or vehicle looking like new for many years.
