Hi Guys.
I was just wondering what you Guys think is better , BBS or Polish/Wax.
I have not seen BBS here in Oz and I was thinking of ordering some from America.
Looks to good to true.
Our climate is harsh and some of our Lakes at times are dirty , so it is realy apealing.
But it will be expensive due to dollar exchange rate and shipping.
Thank You.

Wax is so much better and provides a deeper clean to your fiberglass than these spray on cleaners like BBS,BTS,etc..They are good to use in between waxes but never remove the stains,or build up that usually occurs over time. Its the same with cars you cant replace a good paste wax over a spray on/wipe off product.
I wax my boat with a premium wax once, maybe twice a year. Other than that, I use BBS religiously and it keeps the boat feeling slick and looking new. It has a uv protectant to keep the sun from damaging the boat finish. Also, it will take off stains from the water if you don't wait months to get it off. Most of the time I do not even have to wash my boat. When I get home from fishing I just wipe it down with BBS and no worries. I live in Louisiana and all of our water is stained and BBS takes it right off. Most importantly......A gallon will last a long time. This stuff goes a long way.

I probably should but I do not use anything other than BBS. I used it every trip on my 2007 SX 180 and it looked better than new when I sold it. I'm doing the same thing with my 2008 I Class and it seems to be great also.

My Skeeter has only been waxed once since I got it in march of 2008. BBS or Capt Garys instant shine are used after every trip. Think my previous boat went 2 or 3 years without wax and still shined like new.

take a good fiberglass restoration wax and your bbs spray/wipe product and take a section of your boat and see which one shines and feels smoother and a deeper finish. The spray and wipes are ok for getting surface dirt off but they cant hold a candle to a good restoration wax..spray and wipes are just easier and quicker not better.
I've used Bow-To-Stern (BTS) this past year and it's pretty good product. I like it. It's not an after-every-trip formula, just about once a month. It's got polymer sealants that bond with the gelcoat, protects from UV exposure, and makes a simple after-lake wipedown with a wet towel a breeze.
Wax does give a beautiful finish though, no lie. I always have enough wax, but I run out of elbow grease.

I use BBS and fish stained water all the time. It cleans it right up and makes it look like new and gives it a nice slick feeling.
I even use it on my dash, seats, trailer...everything!
What brand wax do you suggest? And where is everybody ordering BBS from?

I think what you need to remember BBS is not a wax...It is basically a UV protectant and an excellent wipedown for removing the day to day lake scum..... I have gone through gallons of the stuff and love it....

I use BBS each time and Meguiars Marine Wax about once a year.

I have tried BBS and it did not help me but with that being said my boat is 90% White if you have a white boat buffing and waxing is the only way to really keep it white but if your boat has a good amount of color with the boat already having a good sealer wax on it BBS will only better protect it.
