Restore is awesome-wipedown boat and motor when you get home or when you pull out the lake ( i did it at home cause I didnt want to be "that guy".....

:angry:dont use wonderfoam on a verado!!!! trust me

Why not?

I second the wonderfoam comment. It leaves white spots on the black plastic that are permanent. I do love the Restore stuff though...its quick and easy and leaves your boat looking new.

It left white spots on my verado.... And also faded the black where ever I used it. Not sure if it will do that to all mercs but it does it to the verados:(

...so I use whatever wax happens to give me the best shine on the cars. Currently I'm using a wax called Black Magic that buffs off with a microfiber cloth without too much hassle and gives a nice wet look shine. Makes the Opti gleam. So, the boat gets boat wax, the Opti gets car wax.

yea I don't think spots would please any of us...I second the wax but also use something called quick spiff as well which I like to use on the motors and the freeboards of my boat...quick easy does a decent job...

I use a protectant called Rejex which is recommended by the guys on the Verado Owndrs Group. I have heard that it was formulated to protect helicopters from their turbine exhaust. They recommend that Rejex be used only on the shiney part of the cowl and 303 Protectant be used on the rough part. These work great for me and Skeeter may sell Rejex, but I'm not sure.
