Well JJ, if you such a youngster, you probably have never heard of
George Applebay, and therefore would have no reason to respect his
opinion of silicone's effects upon fibreglass structures. In my opinion
you would be wrong to take this position, but then I'm rather new to the
sport myself and am in no position to recommend anything...

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.
