I use Race Glaze and Wizards. RG and Wizards are basically the same. Wizards was created from a former RG employee. I use these because I do not like wax. It can turn a hull yellow if too much wax is used, just like you get a wax build up on a floor. Wizards and RG is a polish and the more coats you put on, the deeper the shine gets. Now, I am very anal, so I polish my boat every week. If you only want to do the boat once or twice a season, there is a relatively new product out called Boat Shield. It has the shine of most polishes I use, which is good, but it outlast EVERYTHING 10 fold. I have experimented on some cars and a part of my boat and it is amazing. You can find info on Boat Shield at
www.swipewipes.com. I highly recommend that stuff for long term care. The key with Boat shield is the the gel has to be in good shape to use it, no oxidation at all. You can find info about RG at
www.mr-shine.com. The main reason I do mine every week is because of my business. When I go to the river, it has the just polished feel and look which helps me get business. Have I confused you yet??? Let me know if I can help at all!!

Greg, for stubborn stains, the Long Haul Metal polish is great. I would put a normal polish over that after you removed the stain. I say that because I do not know how well the metal polish will protect the gel. I don't think well. I may be wrong on that though... As far as your oxidation, hard to say without seeing it, you can alway try a polish first, if that does not remove it, try a light compound. that should take care of it. One thing to do, if you have to use a light compound, wash the area between steps to close up the pous of the gel so the polish will not be "eatin" up by the gel.
