Default Waxing your boat

When waxing your boat ,how do many of y'all get the wax under your boat while it is on the trailer?do you just miss a few spots or do you do something different?
Thanks

I like the hull cleaner, precleaner wax and wax products made by Starbrite. You can find it at Academy, Walmart and a few other places. With these products you can make your old hull look amazing. Kinda expensive but worth the money.

I usually wash, rinse and let dry, then use 3M Cleaner Wax. When new, I just use 3M wax for fiberglass.
ONE COAT ONLY. Dummy tried a second coat once. Talk about hard as heck to get the second coat off.
After the wax haze is removed, go over it with a layer of Rejex polish.

I watched a guy load his boat the other day then get a towel and bottle of spray detailer and work his boat and motor over at the boat launch.

It's kinda good, and real easy to use, but doesn't last as long as other fiberglass wax's.

I haven't had a problem with it not lasting as long as other waxes I have used.

I also use their boat wash which is not supposed to strip off the wax like other detergents do.

Keeping the fiberglass clean and out of the sun, will make any wax last a lot longer.

Is "waxing your boat" some kind of euphemism?

Rejex is best applied directly to clean surfaces - no sense in putting Rejex over wax. Rejex lasts longer than wax, so you lose the Rejex as the wax goes.

PlastX on your plexi glass : http://www.meguiarsdirect.com/product_detail.do?q=4596, then RejeX over the plexi

And WaveAway for your GPS: http://waveaway.com/

Collinite 920 then come back w/ either the 925 or 885. Best that I've found.
