Tom, In the interest of your and your crews/guests safety - don't "wax" the nonskid. "Waxing Non-skid" That would be an conflict of interest. ;>) Actually a soft brush (wallpaper type) and some Simple Green should clean it to as 'pretty as it can be' and still retain non-skid property. This comes from a guy who slipped off his 17 and tore both rotator cuffs and biceps tendons - The other advice - when falling off the boat - just go with it no matter how cold the water - not worth the chance of tearing up your body. Just my personal experience. NON-SKID not polished or waxed. Have fun - the boat will look great ! GO

As Larry Yake said, Woody wax for non-skid is great. You wash the boat, then brush it on the wet deck, rinse of with water and let dry. It's that simple, and it is NOT slippery. ~~~_/)~~~Gary Hyde 2005 M17 #637 sailboat 'Hydeaway 2' On Jul 16, 2011, at 7:46 PM, GILASAILR@aol.com wrote:
