[C320-list] Hull cleaning and waxing tips

[Jim Sweet]

Mike,

I use Meguiars 49 to cut the oxidation every 2-3 years and Meguiars 50 combo 
polishing compound/wax the other years.  Keeps the hull like new.  Of 
course, we're in the frozen north so sun isn't as big an issue for us.

Hello all,
I'm looking to do a full hull cleaning and waxing, and by the look of the 
gelcoat it hasn't been done in a quite a while. I'm thinking of a full wash, 
then acetone wipe down, followed by rubbing compound and then wax. I'll use 
a electric buffer, but it still this sounds like a big job. Just writing 
this is making me feel tried already.
Any tips or tricks would be appreciated, also any recommendations for wax 
and rubbing compound.
