Like already mentioned.... in this order...
- Wash
- Polish
- Wax
Or if you want to cut out a step, then instead of using a dedicated polish, (which won't add any protection), or using a non-cleaning boat wax, (that won't remove any oxidation or staining), you can use a one-step cleaner/wax.
A quality cleaner/wax will, clean, polish and wax in one step. So your process would look like this,
- Wash
- Cleaner/wax
That's two steps instead of three and the larger the boat the more appealing a one-step, also called an AIO (All-in-One), becomes.
If you don't have a DA Polisher I'd highly recommend getting one. It will do the work much faster and better than you'll ever do with your hand and a DA or dual action polisher won't harm anything on your boat.
Call Nick at 1-800-869-3011 x215 and he can answer all your questions and set you up with the right tools, pads and products to make washing, polishing and waxing your boat fast and easy while getting pro results the first time.
