I'm new to this sport and have a few questions about waxing my ship. Some say
NEVER wax because if you ever get wet, you will come down like a STONE. Others
say you MUST wax to ward off the TERRIBLE affects of moisture and UV. I'm
confused, can anyone help?
One more thing, what kind of wax is BEST ? I've been told that silicone is
really BAD for fiberglass. Each little individual "cone", can migrate right
down into each little "fiber" of my ship and render it UN-REPAIRABLE, should I
ever break it.

There's a product out there called "Lift-Off".
I was wondering if I should use it only on the spoiler blades, or
should I just wait & spray JJ's wings with it when he's not looking?
A good guide to see where your ship needs wax, is to take a long
flight, and when you return, check to see where the urine stains are
below the clearview. Apply wax there. Remember to use only ear wax on
the static ports. If you fly a Monarch, be sure to use plenty of wax
on the stabilizer, or it might stall & spin without warning.
Also, be sure to finish yer wax job by applying Rain-X, that way the
bugs slide neatly off the trailing edge.
I wonder if anyone has the polar for the PW5 with and without wax?
