Mike, since I'm not yet familiar with this line of marine products, which product would perform best as a maintenance product? I assume it would be a cleaner wax.
Exactly.

A cleaner/wax is going to clean off any scum stains, light oxidation that's kicking in as well as restore the gloss and protection.

Actually you can polish a boat's gel-coat with any light polish or cleaner/wax as often as needed. Sanding and compounding should only be done on an as-needed basis.


It never hurts to top the results from a cleaner/wax with a dedicated finishing wax or sealant.
