Hi,
Can hard wax be replaced by liquid wax application? Of course silicon free, as well as other harmfull adds.
Although i've seen guys maintaining their gliders purely on applying liquid wax regularly, i guess it wont seal & protect the gelcoat as well as a good anual hard wax buffing.
¿Any advice?
Thanks

Is there any evidence that waxing is beneficial - or is it just part of the lore?

In my case almost 40 years of observing and evaluating the condition of polyester finishes that have and have not been kept well polished and waxed.
Polished and waxed is far superior.

Inspecting fiberglass/gelcoat trailers that are kept outside will help answering that question. Unless you polish/wax those trailers at least twice a year they will quickly deteriorate in a bad way. Now look at that type of trailer kept indoors.
