Best polish for a Black boat?

[stvhelm]

SuperGlaze from the WaxShop best stuff I've ever used. Super slick and the best on any color gel. 1-800-323-9192 order a case

you know I used to swear by that stuff years ago when i had my black truck. Its been a while now and I somehow got hooked on turtlewax super gloss, but im gonna go a pick that up again and give it another try. I just remember how effortless it was to rub out and how deep the color enriched.

most spray on, easy on and easy off products are heavy on the silicone type ingrediants to give the illusion of a deep shine, you would get almost the same effect by rubbing tire dressing on the surface.

The only thing bad about SuperGlaze, is that it's too slick

The 3M machine glaze is the wrong thing to use unless you want to make this a full time job. It'll wash off after a short time. It'll look great when you're done. If you want something that lasts more than a week there's a little more work involved. You need to get the surface clean and shiny with some sort of polish. I like the Meguiars products. and then get several coats of good synthetic wax on the top. Here is a link with lots of "how to" "with what" info.

Thanks for all the responses, I haven't even had the boat in the water and it already look filthy...

So the process/products to use are..

3M Machine Glaze for Dark colors
3M Perfect-it 3

And then a good wax on top? (anything good by 3M it's a common product in NZ)

Might just buy the lot and send it to the detailers as I haven't had a lot of experince with a mechanical polisher, and I don't want to burn the gel.

the wax shop stuff you have to apply.
its a caranuba with uv protection and it looks like they came out with
a new improved high definition version of the original stuff

dbs which are you using the original one or this one?

Thats it, not sure if it's HD or not have to go to the shop and check, don't know how it could be improved It also does not have any static, so dust does not stick. Hard to find local, easy online.........Braxton

Thats probably why he is asking what wax to use after the machine glaze.

These new replys are irrelevant anyways, this post was started 3 years ago, and answered shortly after with multiple good ways to do it.
