| | Meguiars M5616 Marine/RV Pure Wax #56 |  |  Keep oxidation at bay with this marine wax!
Fiberglass boats are often said to be “maintenance-free” by salesmen or brochures, but don’t take that literally. Think of a boat as a car that floats. Inside and out, it needs just as much care to keep it in top condition. It would be more appropriate to say, “With regular light maintenance, you can avoid major maintenance in the future”.
All sorts of algae and barnacles can grow on the hull of your boat if given a chance. They’re unattractive and they increase the friction between the boat and the water. If contaminants are allowed to remain on the hull, they can penetrate the protective gel coat and cause oxidation. Eventually, the hull will require refinishing. The easiest way to prevent oxidation and save yourself a lot of money is to regularly apply a coat of Meguiars M5616 Mirror Glaze Boat/RV Pure Wax #56 to all the fiberglass surfaces.
Meguiars M5616 Mirror Glaze Boat/RV Pure Wax #56 protects the gel coat much like car wax protects the clear coat of your vehicle. Meguiars M5616 Mirror Glaze Boat/RV Pure Wax #56 creates a slick, shiny surface that resists UV rays, salt, algae growth, and reduces friction as the boat cuts the water. Meguiars M5616 Mirror Glaze Boat/RV Pure Wax #56 prevents oxidation so that colors remain crisp and the boat appears cleaner longer. However, there is a difference between gel coats and clear coats, so be sure to use a wax designed specifically for fiberglass.
Meguiars M5616 Mirror Glaze Boat/RV Pure Wax #56 contains pure Brazilian carnauba wax, silicones, polymers, and resins to provide a bright gloss and long-lasting protection. Resins allow the wax to bond to the gel coat in order to withstand the friction of the boat cutting the water and salt. The carnauba creates a beautiful shine and slickness that allows the boat to glide through the water with less resistance.
Your boat will usually require polishing prior to applying wax in order to remove any algae or salt that is already on the surface. You don’t want to trap contaminants under the wax. Use Meguiar’s #45 Marine/RV Polish to achieve a perfectly clean surface before waxing. Then apply Meguiars M5616 Mirror Glaze Boat/RV Pure Wax #56 either by hand or with a polisher. To apply by machine, use a gray finishing pad. Work at a speed between 3000-4000 OPM on a dual action polisher, or 1000-1200 RPM on an orbital polisher. Apply Meguiars M5616 Mirror Glaze Boat/RV Pure Wax #56 to one section at a time. When it dries to a haze, buff it off using a microfiber towel.
Meguiars M5616 Mirror Glaze Boat/RV Pure Wax #56 to protect your RV, too! On gel-coated fiberglass RVs, Meguiars M5616 Mirror Glaze Boat/RV Pure Wax #56 will give you superior protection over a car wax.
Remember, a little maintenance now will save you a lot of repair in the future! Use Meguiars M5616 Mirror Glaze Boat/RV Pure Wax #56 Pure Wax to protect and enhance your boat or RV for a long, functional life.
