Under most circumstances, it may not be necessary to apply, but wax and other polymer products can be applied to TotalBoat Wet Edge that has fully cured for a minimum of 7-10 days (under normal curing conditions). Do not use any products that are for color restoration, or compounds. New paint in good condition should not need waxing at all, though it may be desirable after 2-3 years of use and exposure to help give the paint the maximum shine and protection. One important note to consider: applying wax products to light colored paints such as whites, year after year, can make the paint turn a slight yellow color over time.
