Thanks and Dive safe,

Aloha Brad:
For all your boating issues, especially one that are not getting helped here, check out this boating site. I learned a ton just lurking there. I use Collinite 920 boat cleaner followed by Collinite 885 fleetwax. Follow the instructions: dont try to cover too big an area. http://www.thehulltruth.com/

Get off boat from long day. Hire cute boat guy. Have boat put on a rack outside of restaurant/tiki bar. Order margarita and watch boat guy work-out. That is just my recipe Worked great for years.

If you ever use one of those polymer products like NewGlass, you won't be able to wax your boat again until you chemically strip off the polymer.
If you think detailing a hull with rubbing compound and wax is brutal, try a hull chemical strip.
Missd once again hit the nail on the head when she suggested that you hire someone. You're up there in Wisconsin - try to find some illegal immigrants who need cash - they make great workers. Lots of Hmong up there. Jeffrey Dahmer didn't manage to eat all of them.

Boat work here in the summer is brutal, to say the least. Hosing it down when I am done is fine but actual work, no way, not in the summertime. Another plus is if you have too many of those drinks, you can have them put the boat back in the water, in a slip, and sleep on it for the night. Get up and do the same routine in the morning
