[C320-list] RE: Two Questions from San Diego 2004 C-320

David,

  In my humble opinion using soap not only polutes the water, it breaks down oils and wax on your hull.  You should try to keep wax on the gel coat becacuse it blocks the degradating radiation from the sun, was also keeps the hull clean.  Salt water is totally and completely removeable with fresh water.
