I was unsuccessful when i searched for this so mods feel free to delete if i missed it
Thought this would be a good idea for everyone to share their detailing regimen. ie. how often you wash, wax 'n wipe, full wax, quick detail, vinyl clean, vinyl condition.
With the last boat, we would try to quick detail every few weekends and do the wax 'n wipe monthly. After every time in the water, we would dry completely. As long as we kept up with the spray on wax, simply drying off the boat would be fine to prevent water spots with the exception of the aluminum parts.
The last boat belonged to the in-laws so i was less a part of maintenance/care than i obviously am with my current boat.
So far with the new boat it was washed and waxed on pick-up and then put away for the winter. To start this season it was detailed with Boat Bling's hot sauce, vinyl was condition with boat bling's conditioner sauce and then towel dried after the last day in the water. All stainless components(rub rail, speakers, board racks) were again treated with hot sauce and then quickie sauce(areas are quick to water spot, speakers and racks tend to get a lot of bugs from trailering and the frequent waxing makes clean up much easier.)
Was especially wondering how often you all clean and treat vinyl.
