Default Waxing and polishing

Since winter is nearly ending and I'm doing final adjustments to my glider, I was wondering. Is it interesting to wax and polish it? I've seen a set of products he https://www.theaerodyne.com/gb/care-...ider-care.html

D-1339


Going a bit off topic here, not really looking for materials or products, just want to know, is it worth it to wax and polish the glider? For example, keeping it in great condition, smooth and shiny?

Default Waxing and polishing

In a round about way, people are saying, "yes it's worth waxing your sailplane". They do this by stating what they use to do it.

Does anyone have any experience with the F11 product marketed in the US for cars and boats. Their website says it is silicone free.

It really is worth waxing your sailplane (and trailer). Helps to keep out
the UV. I soft wax was mine 3 times each year. Not keen on hard waxing.

If I am grid squatting just hanging around waiting for the
launches to start the fall back position is to get a cloth and bottle
of mer and polish the wings.It can't hurt ,might improve the
performance, and you can think about the coming task while your
hands do the work.

It all depends, does resale value mean anything to you?
