What does everybody suggest for the best wax and fiberglass cleaner?? My boat shines but I really want it to shine, and there are a few duller spot then others so I want something to really make the colors come out but protect it too!! and then I have a white boat so is there any fiberglass cleaner that gets stains out really good???? Thanks for the help!!!!
nothing????...just looking for the best wax and cleaner I can find!
Waxes ,cleaners and polish are different chemical make ups, each do a specific job for the gelcoat.
Cleaners should be used first to remove stains, pollution build up, scum, etc.
Any of the light compounds should do a good job cleaning the gelcoat with a buffer or hand scrubbing.
Meguiars heavy duty gel coat cleaner is a good one.

Polish should be used next, it will remove almost all of the little swirl and scratch marks from the gel left behind from the cleaning compound and leave a glossy, glass like finish

Wax goes on last to protect and seal the glossy finish the polish put on. A good High caranuba wax will protect the gel from everyday pollution, make scum lines easier to remove after a day on the water , etc.
Collonite heavy Duty Fleetwax is one of the best

Not many of the combo wax/cleaners will work well as the cleaner part is usually a compound type to remove stains, etc while the wax is their to protect, kind of like an oxymoron, trying to remove dirt/stains and leave a coat of wax at the same time. Something isn't going to work right.
To really do it right, all 3 should be a separate step.
mcguires makes a kit that has has all 3. i believe its called a "fiberglass restoration kit". i bought it for my boat, it worked great. mine was like yours, shiny and in good shape but needed a good polish and wax. it looks brand new now. got a cheap buffer from pep boys, ordered the kit direct from mcguires. took me about a full day and an 18 pack of coors light but it got done and looked great.
I just bought the Mcguires 3 in one kit. I hope it works good, haven't jumped on the project yet. Hopefully this weekend.

i think mine was like $30 or something. it saves you a few bucks on each bottle when you buy the 3 pack kit.
