Best wax to use?

[Tacklebox Joe]

What wax are you using? What's consider the best out there. I've used meguiar's.

I just used the Meguires #50 Marine and RV Cleaner Wax. It went on well and came off pretty easy. I also bought a cheap orbital buffer at Harbor Freight----the 10 inch model set me back $19.99 and was well worth it. Made the job much easier than doing it all by hand.

One of my buddies does mine. He uses a 3M product. I'll have to find out what it is. Holds up well. He uses the angles sander (looks like a grinder but has a sanding bonnet). Beats the heck out of doing it by hand.

Wreckfish got it right. I did not think anyone knew about the Insulator wax. This is great stuff for a final coat. Before I use it, I buff the hull sides with 3m cleaner/wax using a Dewalt rotary polisher. This removes the light oxidation that shows up from the winter. Then I apply the Insulator wax with a applicator pad and buff it off with my Dewalt. That is a long lasting wax.

Tip, I was told, If machine buffing  not to use the foam buffing pads on fiberglass .  they  get hotter when buffing  and could leave permanent swirls in the fiberglass. Also to keep the RPMs of the machine  down to  around 2000 or lower  The source is from two places, A body shop friend in the business for 50 years and the auto paint place where I buy my buffing pads.
