RE: To wax or not
Well I for one do sand and polish the bottom of my boat, a few years ago I used to just sand the bottom but then we got to testing some of the new polymer coatings and found that it was faster, the polymer coating is not a wax and does not act like one, I aply 2 coats the night befor a race, it takes 12hrs to cure, the one I like best is RejeX, Rain X also works good, just my 2 cents
