Will Meguiar's NTX Tech Wax clean oxidation off fiberglass boats?

I purchased the product with the idea it was a protectant, not a cleaner-protectant. In reading the literature on the box, it says to clean oxidized surfaces first with another of their products. I've used the product on both cars-thoroughly cleaned-with VERY good results, especially after a light buffing (buffer) a few days later. It's very easy to use-GREAT product!

I don't believe this wax has a cleaning agent nor do I know if it is recommended for fiberglass. As a cleaner, I have used Meguiar's Cleaner & Wax for my autos. But again, I don't know if it would be recommended for fiberglass. You should Google Meguiar's & inquire what they would recommend to clean oxidation from your boat.

It likely would...never tried it for that.DuraGloss has some cleaner/polishes that do this quite well. You might find them at a local auto parts. I get them at Car Quest. But the Meguiars probably would work for hardwater spots.

I use Nu Finish twice a year on my fiberglass ski boat. It should be applied in the shade and at 3 sq foot areas at a time. Excellent results. One suggestion: use a Fiberglas de-oxidizer first if the fiberglass has dulled with age. The Nu-Finish does a great job of preserving it like new.

I use this on a 14 year fiberglass boat. the boat was either in the water or winter storage. it had quite a bit of oxidation on it. I bought a Makita buffer to buff out the boat. it was a lot of work. I am thinking I should have first got a very coarse grit buffing compound. one thing that worked well to get the grime off the boat was gel toilet bowl cleaner I bought at the dollar store. again with a project that old, I would get a very coarse buffing compound then perhaps followed up with this product. get on YouTube and see how they clean boats with this stuff, that's what I did. my project turned out the sort of okay with this product but it was a lot of work.

Yes, however I have had poor results with this wax. I find it hard to remove and causes fine swirls/ scratches both by hand and with a machine. I would recommend Meguiars Gold Class Carnauba Wax.

No, the Meguiar's cleaner wax gently cleans the surface of the car and leaves a Meguiar's quality wax that shines for months! I Have used this Meguiars product for years without any problems.

There are many layers of oxidation... If it is deep into the paint it will make it look better but wont get rid of it... If it is not that deep than yes it should take it right off. Keep in mind the more you use it the better it gets and looks. Its honestly a great product and better than wax and then some! What do you have to lose would be my question to you? Its very much worth it!

In my experience, YES, absolutely safe. I use it as the second-to-final polishing stage with the nitrocellulose lacquer I use to finish the acoustic guitars I build. Provided the lacquer has had sufficient time to reach full cure, the Meguiar's 105 is perfect for getting a mirror-sheen, after buffing it out on the buffing wheel with extra-fine compound, which still leaves some swirl marks. After giving the finish a good rubdown with Meguiar's 105 (using a foam pad wrapped in tee-shirt cotton), I finish up with Meguiar's #205 to perfect the finish. I have found nothing better! In addition to lacquer finishes, Meguiar's also works fine with various Poly finishes, including waterborne polyurethanes. Hope this helps!

No. I actually used it on plastic and it made it a bit worse and don't use Meguiar's plastx it can ruin plastic too. If they are light scratches the best thing I found, especially for dark plastics, is Meguiar's Deep Crystal Carnuba Wax. It does not get rid of the scratches but it does help make them a bit less noticeable.

Meguiar's clay bar is not rated to my knowledge as fine or ultra fine. I have used other clay bars, Mothers, Turtle wax and others. I found the Meguiar's excellent in removing years of neglect. I reciently purchased a 2005 GMC Envoy, the Meguiar's clay bar gave me a really smooth paint finish prior to waxing. My truck is black and the clay bar did not leave any swirl marks.

Yes...the Meguiars D15601Synthetic Express Wax can be used weekly AFTER you wash the car for maintenance protection. This product is not to be used to remove dust. For light dust removal, I would recommend using a California Duster, then follow up with Meguiar's Synthetic Spray Detailer 135 to wipe/clean the clear coat. If the car is dirty...just wash it.

Sorry not me, but a carnauba wax works diferent from the meguiar wax. The meguiars I think is superior, the main reasson is the wax only protects the paint from water by sealling the surfase, but the meguiars go one step up by adding a substanse thats repells water no only guards againt water.

I used their cleaner before applying the wax to my boat. Follow the directions on the bottle. I does need to be shaken and may appear thick. If so just warm the bottle in bath of warm water. Check out the makers web site for info. The wax is worth the work!

It's an all in one polish/wax. Honestly, I wasn't impressed by this. I stick with either menzerna power lock sealer or mcguiers marine wax as the last step after polishing with menzerna FG400 or SF4500. I'm not crazy about chemical guys polishes and compounds.

I would say yes. I have used it on a fiberglass sailboat and it stuck like iron. Warning. Mix a good dollop When you try to mix a tiny amount it doesn't harden well. It is a 1-1 mix which is easy but the cure time is long which is typical with strong epoxys. If I were you I would clean clean clean the crack and then clean again with acetone. Then use this or even better ( but more expensive). Marine tex white epoxy. Good luck.

If you use this spray wax when the Synthetic sealant is fully cured, this will upgrade the water beading.It's a great product for waxing after you washed the car, but for the cleaning between the application you'll need a Instant detail spray (Meguiar's Last Touch). Kind regards !
