 A quick shine !!!! Reply  Edit


My brother got me to started using this cleaner/polish from the Honda motorcyle shop. I use it after cleaning my 2001 Javelin with the bass boat safer. It is slick as glass when you get finished. I still wax it once a year with a good quality marine paste or liguid wax. It will also make your windshield look like new.

Looks good, there is also a gel polish that is sold at Lowe's. Its in a pink can and is GREAT to use to polish the boat every once in a while then BBS after and in between use..

I use the Honda polish on my bike, it takes all kinds of stuff off of the paint and plastics. Never thought about using it on the boat

The stuff at Lowes is called Gel Gloss. I use it and it works great. It comes in a spray can as well.

It's Honda spray cleaner. I use it on my bike as well. It's great for protecting the wax and making it last longer. Find your nearest Honda dealer. I think it's like 5 or 6 bucks a can. Mine has lasted so long I cant remember. Just a little spritz then wipe it off with a soft cloth.

I was using the Meguiars Quick Detailer also but with the scum what we have her in Kansas it just didn't clean very well. If you clean the scum line off before you use the Detailer it works fine.

I am going to give the Gel Gloss / Honda Spray cleaner and polish a try.

I use Bow to Stern. Quick and easy, lasts about 3-4 months between treatments and give your boat a show room shine. Pat Leach

Agree with BTS. I have been using about a year and have nothing but GREAT praise when folks look at my boat. I do my boat every 3 month and between applications you just use a damp micro-fiber cloth to wipe down

No easier than that.

used it too with great results but learned it contains silicone as do most automotive waxes/sprays..........silicone will cause issues if there s ever a need to make a gelcoat repair I am told I went to BBS after learning that

May not be a law but with our president you will probably get taxed for doing it.
