From what I can remember someone in the club said there boat lost 2-3 mph when they used a wax....spit is pretty cheap.

First you need to take a long look at the finish to start with. Do you have hair line scratches(hazy). If the finish only has hair line scratches do the prep with with Mirror Glaze Swirl Remover. If the finish is worst than hair line scratches I would use and  a light rubbing compound and the go to the Swirk Remover. After the prep is done I have been using a product call protec, It seems to last a long time and goes on easy and come off easy. My frinds that know me know I am a wax nut. I have a hole shelf of differant brands of waxes and see to go back to Mirror Glaze(Meguirs) produsct for my cars. I recommend
Protec for my final finish on boats.

Touch up get a product called 303 protectant.

John is on the money when he recommended ProTec.  It has a great UV protector and also some other formulas to keep the fiberglass from "drying out".  The 303 available at West Marine, will also protect from UV rays which really can cause fiberglass to loose its luster and fade or haze up.  303 works outstanding on the vinyl upholstery as well.  Both Protec and 303 are kinda like sunscreen for your glass boat.  In any case make sure you use a product that has the most UV protection you can find and DON'T place it on the running surface of your boat.  When you come off the water a quick wipe down with Meguires Quick Detailer or Eagle One will keep your boat looking great between waxes.

ok, still in the new boat owner phase.... where's West Marine and where do I buy ProTec?  If West Marine is "down south", any recommendations where I can get 303 "up north"?  Also, does the 303 make the seats slick like AmorAll would?  Finally, how often do you wax your boats?

Ya, ya, I know - mine's aluminum. So I'll adapt your advice to suit my situation.

Thanks!

You can get 303 a little cheaper than that at Sportco in Fife.  The stuff is spendy but worth the money to me.  I  put it on the seats about 2 or 3 times a year and at least the same on the boat.  Don't think it'll work on luminum though. 8)
