Collinite 885 Fleetwax-Marine & RV Heavy Duty Carnauba+Polymer Wax Sealant-Ultra Durable, Long-Lasting Fiberglass Protection. Provides High Gloss Shine + UV Protection + Prevents Oxidation (12 fl oz)

I bought this wax based on the high reviews and write ups. I wasn't disappointed at all! I bought the wax to apply it to the polished table of my table saw. The previous wax I used didn't have much of a life at all and if a bead of sweat landed on the saw table it would soon start to rust if I wasn't careful. Also the wood was sticking to the table and it was making my cuts inaccurate. I cleaned and polished the table immediately prior to applying this wax, so I could get rid of some sap and a few small spots that were starting to surface rust. I only waxed 1/4 of the table at a time before I buffed it off so I didn't let it dry like so many reviews warn you about. The first coat went on very easily and you could tell that the metal seemed to soak the wax up. I would do an initial buffing with denim rags to get the majority of the excess wax off before I did a final buff with Extra-Thick Large Cotton Buffing Ball - Hex Shank - Turn Power Drill into High-Speed Polisher . Getting most of the excess wax off made the buffing ball last longer between cleanings. I kept comparing the surface after waxing to surfaces that hadn't been waxed yet and I was amazed at the difference in how slick this wax is! The subsequent coats went on even more easily. I noticed that the extra coats seemed to spread the wax even thinner and more evenly than the very first coat. Again I used the same buffing method. Ultimately I put 4 coats of wax on my table saw. I found a drop of sweat on the table and it beaded up as it should have, and continued to bead when I cleaned it up and the rag didn't soak it all up on the first wipe. I also used this wax on the table guide and the channels in the table. It made a huge difference in the appearance and lubrication! Afterwards I used the saw to cut some of the wood for a project I'm working on. I wasn't careful at first and a block of wood slid across the table and onto the floor on the opposite side. I've never had that happen before with any wood! Cross cuts are a breeze on the saw and the wood isn't dragging or sticking to the table. I'm going to try applying this to my japanese and western handsaws next to see if it helps with binding and saw removal. Update January 2023: After 7 years I finally needed to wax the table saw again. This wax is awesome! Pros: Easy to work with Excellent slick finish after buffing Little goes a long way Very little odor Versatile Easy open/close lid Cons: Pricey, but worth it Doesn't wash out of rags or clothes easily

This stuff works great on gelcoat boat

I have used this in the past. Easy to apply but be careful about letting it on too long as it can be tough to get completely off. A little on a pad goes a long way. It outperforms all other waxes I have used before. It gives a nice shine and water beads up as intended. Highly recommend this product.

The very best for your boat!!!!

I have been a Meguiars fan for many years. Switched to this after a difficult job on a thirty year old sailboat in Florida. Very impressed. Only been on a few months but still looks great. Also a little goes a long way.

We use this on our fiberglass boat and apply it every spring once the winter cover comes off. After powerwashing the hull, we use Collinite's #920 cleaner. That gets rid of spots and other junk on the surface that remains after the wash process. The #920 is great stuff. Goes on easy and comes off easy. After the #920, the boat looks good enough to say "job done." Next step is to apply the #885 Paste wax. I use a foam pad to apply by hand and then a microfiber towel to remove. Here's where the "take off one star" comes in. This wax goes on with the pad nice and easily. However, wiping it off is hard work. Changing out new towels every so often helps a little, but it is still hard work. I've done it in cold weather and in hot weather (and in between) and that doesn't seem to matter. Here's why it is worth it. The process described above leaves a great looking finish on our boat that lasts just about a full boating season (May-October) here in New England. It looked great for the entire season. It repelled beverages that spilled overboard; fish blood and all kinds of nasty stuff. Other waxes I've used on this boat required re-application about mid-season. Not Collinite. Good stuff. Highly recommend.

Excellent wax

i've used Collinite Fleetwax to wax my catamaran sailboats for the last 3 years. i sail 18-19' long cats which have two hulls with gelcoat finishes. i am reaching the end of my first 12oz can, which has covered 4 1/2 catamarans (18 hull sides - 30" wide). this Fleetwax is more creamy than automotive paste wax so it's easier to apply. although paste wax is harder to use, in general, than liquid waxes, i know it's doing a better job of staying on the hull, plus it goes much farther than a liquid for the price. Note! there is one big difference between using this Fleetwax compared to auto waxes and it is this.....you don't let it dry fully to a powder like you do with a car wax! if you do, you will find it is so hard that it won't buff off and you can see the wax marks! i made this mistake the first time i used it. you need to apply it to an area of about 5-6 s.f. and when you finish that area, go right back to the beginning and start buffing it off. this allows the wax to dry for only about 4 minutes. if you do it sooner, the wax is still sticky and if you wait much longer, it's too dry. sounds crazy but that's what they recommend and they are right. i've been very pleased with this product so i highly recommend it!

Used this on my boat, fantastic wax and seams very tough.

Awesome products

Great product, very easy to use and looks great leaving a very water repellent finish 👍
