Tired of waxing

[firstlight]

I wax my boat with Royal wax we get a heavy rain and the waxed area has black stains. I have to use spry nine to remove stain thus I need to re-wax. Has anyone experienced this? Should I use another wax?

spray nine is going to take the wax off. Try a product meant specifically for removing black streaks. BF has tons.

I believe that wax attracts black streaks...LOL. The only thing I have found to work is to wash the boat more frequently, and make sure the soap won't remove the wax.
I have used waxes,polymers,Zaino etc etc and the Black streaks come with the first rain.

Good luck and if u find a solution patent it, you'll be rich

where are the strwaks coming from? snaps or dirty canvas are the usual suspects. cleaning them better will help eliminate the streaks. if its from a runoff point on the boat, there isnt much you can do except fab something to keep the water from draining down the side (assuming its the hull your talking about thats streaking)

STREAKY HULL ??? loosen rubrail in the offending area, cut small strip of clear iesenglass plastic (preferably thinner gauge) slide in behind rub rail and retighten. plastic only has to hang down slightly to redirect water flow from following hullside down.
