    Bass Boat Saver is all I've used in years. Keep it on the boat and it cleans up really good and fast.

    I mix up a solution of 30% vinegar to 70% water, spray down a section of boat and then towel it off does a great job on Mercury motors and gets rid of water spots.

    I use the Lucas Oil Marine slick mist. Works great. Spray on, wipe off.

    Wax-As-U-Dry is my current favorite. Takes very little rubbing action to create a slick, clean finish. Even easier than Lucas slick mist.

    I use Eagle One wax as you dry. Stayed away from Bass Boat Saver as I read it can ruin plotter screens should any accidentally get on your screens. Eagle one there is no fears of ruining my screens.

    Another Slick Mist vote. To me it is a much less expressive BBS.

    I use Wax As U Dry because I got a screaming good deal on a few cases a couple years ago. I’ve used Bass Boat Saver and Slick Mist as well. They all work well as long as you use them when you pull the boat out of the water.

    50/50 vinegar and water right out of the water
    Bass Boat Saver when I get home
    Slick Mist is a close second when I'm out of BBS

    Yup. They were selling like cases of 6 for $15 shipped on BBC, or something like that. I bought 2 cases and ran out a couple weeks ago. I have “Voo Doo” all surface detailer. I bought it for my truck, but have been using it on my boat. Seems pretty good and it’s getting the job done. But when that bottle is done, I’m going back to the “Wax As U Dry”. That stuff is awesome.

    For just a wipe down I'll use a 50/50 mix of non-ammonia windex and water. I ditched the vinegar when I read that it takes away wax.
