Everyone knows that a little wax can make a big difference in your boat's appearance. But waxing isn't only for aesthetic purposes. 3M Marine's Scotchgardâ„¢ Marine Liquid Wax ($18.99-$19.99 for 500 ML, www.3M.com) is specifically designed for the harsh marine environment and provides protection from the sun's damaging ultraviolet rays. Scotchgard Marine Liquid Wax is safe to use on fiberglass, gelcoat, marine topside paints and marine metals. The time you spend waxing will be well worth the dual results you'll get.
