How often should I wax my boat ?  This question has no definitive answer.  The fact is that wax and other sealers get beaten down under our extreme Texas conditions.  The water, air, sun and all those nasty excrements from spiders and birds break down these products rapidly.  The porous nature of your get coat forces you to keep at it constantly to try and slow down the oxidation.  It's much easier to do preventative maintenance like waxing periodically than it is to try and restore chalky or faded gel coat.  It all comes down to how much time, money and effort you want to put into keeping your boat protected and pristine.  For practical purposes, we suggest a polish and wax before launching in the spring, then once again mid-season, due to our intense Texas sun, and one last time before fall lay-up
