Wow. So beautiful. How do you keep your gel coat and cockpit so shiny!
Thanks for the complement. It took us a few years to get it that way. I have a wax guy that's a fanatic. It was quite dull when I took delivery. He said "Neglected or Abused" meaning Neglected he could bring back. And bring back he did.
I wash weekly with a soap that has wax as typical Boat Soaps seem to remove the wax. We only have to wax annually here but each time includes three trips around (all smooth surfaces including the cockpit & underside of hard top) using various products (initially w/ compound but not required any longer, cleaner wax, wax, and polish).
I keep the cockpit canvas on whenever not in use. We are one of the lucky ones that are located in an area where we the option of having covered slips. My slip is only exposed to morning sun. Combined, these help immensely.
