LAC: Longest lasting "Wax"?

[David Ullrich]

If she is to the point where she hazes that fast, you need more than a wax.
For boats in that condition, I would recomend either Island Glow products
http://www.islandgirlproducts.com/ or Poli Glow Products
http://www.poliglowproducts.com/  Both are wonderful fiberglass restoration
systems. Cavu isnt at that point yet, but Im actually considering using them
anyway, a bit more expensive, but the results Ive seen on boats here at the
marina are IMPRESSIVE.
