THE FINISHER WaxPolish Wax Polish works as a finely tuned wax formula: mild cleaning components remove light oxidation haze, the polishing phase smooths the microstructure, the wax film flashes off evenly and promotes beading\/sheeting. Result: a rich, deep appearance without a greasy look. On intact gelcoat, one application is often sufficient; for visibly dull areas, a prior correction with RoughCut\/FineCut or the one-step solution PerfectOne is recommended – after which WaxPolish seals the result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication on Board – Preparation, Application, Buffing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e begins with a clean base: wash the boat in the shade with CleanMarine, then dry. Apply THE FINISHER WaxPolish Wax Polish thinly to a soft pad\/cloth, spread panel by panel in a cross-hatch pattern, and allow to flash off briefly. As soon as the film appears \"clear,\" buff off streak-free with a fresh microfiber side. Work in sections on large surfaces, avoiding edges and fittings. Do not apply on heated surfaces or in direct sunlight, and never allow the product to dry. Plastics, non-skid decks, vinyl, and textile elements are excluded – for these, RubMarine, VinylGuard, or TexLock\/CoverGuard are available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDurability \u0026amp; Care Plan – Smartly Combining Wax Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDurability \u0026amp; Care Plan\u003c\/strong\u003e are based on usage (sun, salt, mooring time). If you regularly maintain with CleanMarine, the finish remains visibly calmer, and dirt adheres less. Between washes, you can refresh hydrophobicity with BodyGuard without changing the wax appearance. Remove light water spots after rinsing with a clean cloth; treat stronger salt rims briefly before the next wax application. In case of noticeable loss of gloss: clean the surface, optionally polish selectively, then apply THE FINISHER WaxPolish Wax Polish thinly again and buff out – rather two thin applications than one \"heavy\" application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions about THE FINISHER × Koch-Chemie \"WaxPolish\" — Wax Polish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOn which surfaces do I use WaxPolish?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn smooth gelcoat and high-gloss painted surfaces on board.
