I've like Bass Boat Saver and Mequiars at times. I've tried plenty of others though I've not always been real good about keeping the boat clean and nice... I get distracted easily. Wiping it down and applying something like Bass Boat Saver can help make it less of a chore to give it a good waxing and buffing once in awhile.

pro tec products. Absolutely the best on the market for keeping it tip top shape. Always carry a chamois to wipe the boat down after you pull from the lake.

I use Lucas Oil Products Slick Mist to keep my boat clean, but only when I pull it out of cleaner water.  If I am fishing dingy - dirty water, I give it a quick wipe down at the ramp, but head immediately to the quarter car wash and was the boat and follow it up with Slick Mist.  I also wax the boat every spring which helps tremendously.  I have found Meguiars "Flagship" premium marine wax to be the best product

I have some Lucas Oil products though I have not tried them yet. Jim Vitaro (owner of The Hawg Troughs) gave them to me to try out.

I like Lucas slick mist and Bass Boat Saver. Something else that helps with scum ring when you get off the water 1 cup white vinegar 3 cups water in spray bottle.

check out Peregrine 250 products. The water dog is the best hard water spot remover I have ever used. also the screen cleaner out performs all others.

As mentioned above, I use Lucas Oil Slick Mist Speed Wax.  Fast and Easy and it smells like candy!

You are spot on about the smell.  I have never used a cleaning product that smells so good!

I got this from a few old timers......

50/50 white vinegar and water.  Removes water spots, cleans the graphs, looks as good as waxed.   I also use pro tech every now and then, but really can't tell much difference from the vinegar and water.

It's available at most stores! Vinegar is def a good cleaning agent also, but doesn't smell as good as slick mist speed wax!

I have used Slick Mist and BBS.  I like them both.  I can get a better shine with BBS by wiping it down with a clean cloth after the initial coat dries.  Slick Mist is easier to use and is easily available at most big box stores.

I use the vinegar water solution for water spots.  I use dollar store furniture polish to wax it up
