Meguiar’s Marine Cleaner Wax on my boat, car, and TT. Probably all the same only with a different label. Seems to last longer for me.

McGuiars for boats works best for me on trailer and car. Ist. time use cleaner then wax, after that I have only had to use wax. Has been lasting 12 months out in the Ariz. sun.

I thik that all of you have the wrong idea about Boat and Vehicle Wax. Boat was does not bead as that slowes down a boat in the water it sheets which allows the boat to slip through the water faster.

I was told you had to be careful with auto and boat waxes because of the additives to some waxes that actual increase the peeling of decals, we use 303 Aerospace on everything on the exterior and love it!

My boat and car beads up water just fine with my boat cleaner/wax.

I do understand what you are saying and I have seen special boat racing wax which may be what you are referring to. However most people wax above the water line and want beading and UV protection.

thanks for everyone's feedback...

If wondering, I applied Meguiar’s Marine wax to one side of my wife's trailer. Currently, I have Meguiar’s Marine wax applied to one side, Mother's Auto wax applied to one side and Meguiar’s auto wax applied on the other side.

The Meguiar’s Marine Cleaner Wax was easiest to apply. For applying, no dramatic difference between Mothers and Meguiar's auto wax. Although, Meguirar's auto wax had a coconut smell to it. Meguiar’s Marine was was creamier and easier to apply in the crack areas (like around window edges).

Only time will tell which specific product is better (on my wife's trailer)...

Again. Thanks for everyone's feedback...
