    Question Gel coat sealer

    I've use Bass Boat saver and eagle one wax as you dry to clean my boat after use for years now. I just purchased a new to me boat and plan on keeping it for a very long time. The boat looks like it just came off the showroom floor and I want to keep it that way. I was thinking of applying a sealer once or twice a year and wanted to see what you guys were using. I've researched a lot from the spray to claybar/wax. Not really wanting to claybar the boat fyi! Thanks for the info.

    I use sealant and wax. Sealant will typically last a bit longer, 4-6 months depending. But I always go over my boat with EagleOne wax-as-u-dry after every try. The carnuba in it add's another layer of protection while restoring the shine.

    Every 6 months or so I'll wash my boat with dawn dish soap and re-seal it.

    I used Bass Boat Saver for 10 years on the last boat. Other than a couple of bumps and bruises it was hard to tell a difference in the finish of it and the new one when I had both side by side. Old boat sold in 2 days to the first person that looked at it. And I use a boat at least once and sometimes 2-3 times a week.

    Pro-tec sealant to keep it looking good and in between BBS to wipe her down. I put 3 coats of sealant on over a 2 week period and she feels like as smooth as ice or whatever is the smoothest surface you can think of...
