A mere cut and polish with a wax application might seem like a quick fix, but it's often a temporary solution. In reality, this approach tends to last only 2-3 months before oxidation resurfaces. Additionally, an annual harsh compound-based cut and polish can deteriorate the surface, leading to irreversible damage. Remember, gel-coat and paint layers are thin, and frequent abrasion can necessitate costly solutions like painting, wrapping, or applying new gel-coat. Properly restoring gel-coat requires the complete removal of oxidation, not just masking it with oil-heavy polishes or waxes. Using these can actually speed up surface degradation, leading to a swift return of oxidation. Take a stroll through any boat yard in spring, and you'll witness boats undergoing the same harsh compound, polish, and wax treatment year after year (not advisable). The key is to minimize surface polishing and instead apply a protective coating offering UV protection. This proactive approach ensures long-term preservation, reducing the need for frequent polishing. At the end of the day, the golden rule is to preserve the surface with minimal abrasion and opt for protective coatings that can be reapplied as needed, safeguarding your vessel's appearance effectively.
