Wax + Sealant vs boat coating
I have a 2012 Super Air Nautique (wakeboard boat). It's in excellent condition with no visible oxidation. My question is which should I use between sealant and boat coating? I'm in fresh water if that makes any difference. I believe you have to polish the old coating off when you want to do a new coat, that sounds like quite a bit of extra work. Thanks for your feedback.

Re: Wax + Sealant vs boat coating
Welcome to Marine31Online!
Fresh water is sure a lot easier on EVERYTHING including you than salt water! A gel-coat "coating" will last longer and protect longer plus make washing and drying faster. In order to apply a gel-coat coating however you do have to have a clean base to start with and this means no previously applied waxes or sealants. It's faster and easier to apply either a finishing wax or a light cleaning cleaner/wax by machine but it is true these won't last as long. My write-up for this boat class shows applying a coating and the process.... Pictures & Comments: Marine 31 Boat Detailing Class - May 2015
