I went to Lake Powell for a week. Wind blew most of the time, but still a great trip nonetheless. But after a week of having the wind blow water all over my boat any time it was moving, I have water spots from Hades. This would be a disaster if my boat were anything but white. I last waxed the boat last fall, and I suspect that is my fundamental problem. It seems clear that my coating of wax is not there anymore. So I have hard water spots that are next to impossible to get off.
I usually use Babe's boat bright after every trip to the lake and it works great for those 1/2 day trips that I usually make. We wiped her down after we pulled her out at Powell and basically the spots did nothing.
Today I tried 2 different kinds of wax - no help.
Babe's spot solver - no luck,
Babe's boat wash - no way,
Palmolive and water - nada,
Ducky cleaner - not working,
I have some 3M cleaner and wax that is rated for 'lightly oxidized surfaces' and has a mild rubbing compound in it, and that worked to some degree, and is pretty much the only thing that even worked in the slightest. I used it twice in the same area and that pretty well got rid of the spots.
I was thinking that I need a pure rubbing compound like 3M makes and then follow that up with a straight wax. Then I will surely wax the boat more often. I don't like it looking like this, even though it is really not bad from a distance.
Any suggestions?
Sorry to start another water spot thread, but this seems more cantankerous than most water spot problems.
Here is a cell phone pic that shows what I am dealing with to some degree.
