Default Nufinish

I can't recall which one of the boat manufacturers it was but I remember reading in a dealer's bulletin to detail the boats with Nufinish.

NuFinish, I believe, is silicone based. Much like Armor All. If you talk to a body repairman, they hate the stuff. Paint will not stick to silicone products and they can only be remove by sanding it off.

Acrylic based product, like Liquid Glass will be better. Acrylic products requires a super clean base. That's is why there is a LG preconditioner.

I am satified with the 3M products. They last the whole season.

Many marine waxes have common properties. They are designed to provide a higher gloss finish, protect your topside, whether it is gelcoat, fiberglass or topside paint, and provide UV protection from the sun's rays. Most boat wax is a "wax-on, wax-off" process that is fairly easy to apply. Marine Wax can come in either a liquid or a paste form. Our boat wax manufacturers include 3M, Collinite, Trewax, Simoniz and Interlux. 3M marine Ultra Perfromance Paste Wax will leave a protective high gloss coating on fiberglass, gelcoat, marine topside paints painted aluminum, and metal. Contains the unique 3M polymer technology which provides the durability of an acryllic with the soil release and water beading properties of a fluoropolymer and silicone. The easy on/off formula will save time and effort and leave your boat with long lasting protection that retards UV light damage.
