Default WX block and seal question

Not Rocket Science.

1. Drill a hole in the original WX caps. Seal hole between uses with
a stainless or plastic screw or nail. A standard nail/screw also
works but they rust.

Or

2. Buy condiment dispensers from the "dollar store" and transfer.

I have been using a similar product for years. I use a heavy duty spray bottle for both the dry wash and the wax.
It allows for better coverage with less waste. (It lasts longer that way)

Is there an automotive wax that would work well and cost less?

I've used Mother's California Gold

in the past with good results. Lately I use Meguiar's Quik Wax

My ship is finished in polyurethane so it's probably not as sensitive to
the environment as gel coat.

In rowing many use a product called gel gloss to polish and protect boats. It's technically a kitchen and composite cleaner. It comes as a spray and a gel goop. It smells suspiciously like WX seal. Can buy it at Lowe's.
