Reviving this old post,

We'll be launching the boat next week and over the last few days I've been cleaning up the hull sides with commercial 3m compound I was able to get all the scum stains off (above the bottom paint).

Next step is to go over it with regular 3m cleaner wax. I was thinking after that to use a good paste wax. We keep the boat in a slip May - October. I can usually bring her to beach to scrub the sides an scum line. But I'd like to make it as resilient as possible before we launch her next week. Any suggestions?
