Collinite paste wax last the longest of the ones I've tried. I haven't used any of the fancy coatings. If my boat was on a lift and harder to clean I'd consider them. 

 

 I usually wax twice per year.  I use a 3m liquid if I'm in a hurry and hot sauce after every use. Sometimes my boat stays in for a week at a time so after that I need a full wash with starbright hull cleaner and wax.

Which product of theirs did you use? They have quite a few different ones. Apply yourself? 

 

I also agree go black.

When did this become a detailing thread??? Lol 

[Cole2001]

Lol^^ we’re good at getting off topic 

[carguy79ta]

the waxes and sealers I use are machine applied. I use a porter cable 7424xp I think for vehicles and I have a dewalt rotary if I need to remove oxidation from the hull.  I buffed out my old chalky IO a few years back..havent let my new boats get that bad. yep...morphed into a detail thread.

I used the HCC9 on the hull and HCCG on the glass of the windshield. Yes it is not very hard to apply just time consuming. You wipe it on in a criss cross pattern, let it flash and then wipe it off.

We used to be better at it...

Starting to gravitate to black for the hull and base as I was finally able to see the charcoal with the gun metal side by side and I have to say it looks a bit odd versus the black with gunmetal. I get it that both will be a pita to keep clean.   Further thoughts?

Take this comparison with a grain of salt. That bottom picture isn’t gunmetal metallic. That’s charcoal metallic and is a completely different, and no longer offered, color then gunmetal metallic. If you want a true comparison you are going to have to find two 2018 boats to compare which may be difficult. So black may be a better, safer, choice right now. Although in your design I still think charcoal will look good!

Thanks everyone.  I was able to get my dealer to get the charcoal changed to Black. I agree it looks the best as my concern was two tyoes of grey shade right next to each other would look odd in person. He had to call the factory as it gets sprayed next week and thankfully they agreed as it had locked in the system.    Should have it by the end of March.  Cheers.
