    Guard rail gone slack, sailing cruiser.

    Best diy wax?

    better than collinite...... no. the white boats use collinite, however they have a crew of 20 somethings that start at the bow, polishing, buffing, waxing everything and sanding the teak. when they get to the stern, they start over.
