Does Flitz Replace Wax?

[ajholt7]

You guys who use the Flitz Polish, do you still use wax? If so, do you polish or wax first?

I hear Flitz works great on the aluminum towers. I haven't tried it but I am about to pick some up.

Let us know. I am so tired of bugs on that tower that I have to take a green scrubbing pad after.

After polish you need to cover with some sort of protection. A sealer will last you 3 to 6 months, and wax will last about 4 to 8 weeks. All dependent on numerous conditions... weather, where you have it stored etc. Most will wax, because that is the layer that will cause the water to bead and roll off.

Since flitz is a polish, is it somewhat abrasive? Will it eat at the gelcoat if you use it too often?

[Guma]

All polishes are abrasive and take off a small amount of paint, clearcoat, gelcoat, etc... Polishes come in varying grits (for lack of a better term), i.e. medium, fine, super fine, or finishing polish. I can't speak to how abrasive Flitz is compared to other polishes. The amount it removes also depends on whether or not you are applying it by hand or with a buffer. From what I have read it is quite acceptable to polish a finish 2 or 3 times a year. If you are concerned about wearing through the gelcoat by using Flitz too often you could try to find a body shop who might let you borrow a paint thickness guage in the parking lot.

No but they make it sound like the perfect wax, I might try it if nobody chimes in with negative remarks on it

If you do, be sure to tell everyone the results.

I'm sure nobody will, he has something negative to say about everything that anyone else does.

I used Klasse on my boat last year, and have used it on my cars for several years.

here you go AJ, I used Flitz to polish my speaker cans. I also use it on the boat also. I think it works great.
