13.2.1.1 Fiberglass surfaces

Wax protects the boat’s fiberglass surfaces and makes it easier to keep clean. Clean your boat thoroughly after the boating season and apply wax to the fiberglass surfaces before the start of the next boating season.

Before applying wax, wash the fiberglass surfaces using a pressure washer, brush or sponge. Use mildly abrasive polishing agents to remove chafing and embedded dirt. Use cleaning agents containing oxalic acid or phosphoric acid to remove the stains around the waterline.

Remove any fuel splashes immediately from the boat’s surfaces.
