What to use on deck/non-skid?

[AXEL]

I'd like to use some kind of product on the deck of my C30 this season to seal it, keep it clean and looking good. In the past I've tried Woody Wax which I found to be very expensive, didn't last that long and actually attracted dirt. I also use NuGlass which I prefer to use on the hull. Any other suggestions?

Look into Island Girl or Aurora products. Of the two, IG is the most expensive but gets good reviews when applied properly. I have some for ours but haven't had the chance to apply it yet.

Don't use NuGlass or anything else not specifically designed for use on decks/non-skid. If you do, you will fall flat on your @ss, because it will be that slippery. I've used a non-skid cleaner that has a teflon additive to help keep the non-skid on my boat clean. It doesn't seal the surface like a wax would and I'm not sure how they do it, but the stuff makes the non-stick grip better, even though the cleaner has teflon in it... go figure.

I use NuGlass on my motor boat and love it. I haven't used it on the sail boat but I need to find out what is best too.

I have been using NuGlass on the hull of my C30 for over 10 years now and love it! Nothing sticks to it. No wax on/wax off, very easy to apply. I get complements all the time. The boat looks as good in the spring as it does in the fall. I don't like it on the deck though. Like floor wax, it will catch dirt on the gunnels.
I goggled Sure-Step, looks good and is suppose to last long, 3 times as long as Woody wax at almost half the price. I think I'll give it a try this season. Thanks!

Starbrite Nonskid Deck Cleaner

Works like magic, and leaves a teflon coating to protect the surface.

Yup. that's the stuff I've been using.
