To me it depends on how much oxidation you have. If I can run my hand on the surface and get the least amount of white oxidized powder then I prefer to keep the cleaner/restorer as a separate process from the wax. That way I get all the oxidation removed off the surface before I put any wax down. The one step process may do a good job of removing mild oxidation but then it gets combined into the wax. Just MHO. Maybe I'm waiting too long between wax jobs...

3M One-Step Marine Restorer & Wax cannot be beat. It's got a mild abrasive, cleaner and wax. It will do an amazing job.

What would be good to bring the shine or luster,back to a boat that has some oxidation on it. I am byeing a used Monty15 and want it to look as close to new as possible.
