[C320-list] Best way to quickly clean the hull?

[Paul Rickman]

Personally I like Collinite Liquid Fleetwax No. 870. Goes on easy and comes off easy. 
Check it out, search on the name. It is a cleaner wax and Lasts all season.
 
Also, if your hull in in fairly good condition, but you want to really clean it up, us
the 3M Micro compound. Wipe it on and use a buffer to immediately take it off.
They recommend a mask during it's use.
 
You should be able to do this in less than 8 hours and you want to do.

It's been a few years since I have used compound and/or wax on the hull of 
Amore, #139.  We've moved from fresh to salt water and low to high 
humidity....currently on Galveston Bay (in Kemah Marina for the locals)....

What is the current technology and or personal experience for a two part 
cleaning, compound then wax?  There are quite a few qimmicky things out 
there, I just don't want to choose the wrong one....

Also, is there a product that prevents green mold from growing on the east 
side of my boat (other than turning it around in the slip)....

Please send recommendations taking into account I would like to spend no 
more than 8 hours playing Karate Kid....wax on, wax off.....

thanks in advance,

Chris & Corey
