Winter prep... Florida style!

Time for a fresh bottom and some better wax below the rub rail. Decided to do a double coat of Collonite(sp) this time to see if I can get a bit more mileage out of it. This wax is hard as hell to work with, but seems to be hard as nails too. She still shines pretty good for 17yr old glass.

The tow vehicle (just kidding!)

Moored at Cayo Costa one evening and snapped this:

What kind of wax are you using?

Are those pictures of you on the hard taken at Andy's place in Cortez?

That really is cruel for us Northern boaters to be subjected to!

She looks beautiful, enjoy the winter

I am always shocked when I see: "This wax is hard as hell to work with, but seems to be hard as nails too". Can't imagine why "anyone" would say that. It comes off as easy or easier than any wax I've ever used and I've used them all. I'll give you this....If you apply & let it dry; good luck. Buy a jack hammer to remove. If you follow directions on the paste product; you apply to small sections & "IMMEDIATELY" buff off. Couldn't be easier. Just my 2¢

Sure looks good Skeet - The friends from Bradenton just called to rub in our 14-degree temps today. You guys are killin' me!

Yep, I'm at NE Taylor this time around. Andy did a ton of work for me when I first bought her. He also let's you do all the work you want while there. A great yard with great service.

The wax is Collinite 925. I chase it regularly with their cleaner wax as needed. I put Collinite 925 on the bridge over a year ago and it still glows like new. You can't have ANY dirt or oxidization when applying this wax or you're asking for a severe migraine. The hull takes a beating though and needs waxing about every 3 months :-( Hoping this will get me to 6 months or so.

Sorry about the cold weather up north... I'm leaving for Michigan this weekend through the first, so I'll be feeling your pain!
