Just curious how everyone starts the season off cleaning wise and wax and such. I've never had good luck with finding the right wax and whatnot especially being in salt water.

For us it starts with Maintance on the Trailer, Check brakes and Lights. THen we put the batteries in and start it up. After Properly warmed up we change the oils.Also do the other prementive stuff. Then its on to Buffing and Waxing. Father-in-law buffs with an orbital buffer with a lite grit compound and we chase behind him with a hand wax. Then we wipe and clean the interior. Lastly we scub and vacume the Carpets. Takes about 2 days. One other hand wax mid season. 2 of the best days of the season. You get to reunite with your boat knowing spring is right around the corner. This is also a good time to check you dry suit and make sure your seals are ready.
Whoo Hooo spring is close I can smell it!!
