thanks.


Congratulations on the new Coupe. The paint on your boat is DuPont Imron. It has the same property's as automotive paint. I sell new Tiara Coupes in Newport Beach,CA. We suggest not using any soap during wash for the first few months as it strips the wax off. We use this paint on high end boats with colored hulls so that you don't have to do a ton of maintenance. It want to oxidize like gel coat. If you want to do anything at all to protect it just apply a wax specifically made for paint and not gel coat designed to protect the earth from the sun. I would say apply this by hand or with a random orbital polisher that you can buy at wal mart etc. Do this twice per season and your all set. Just to be clear I down suggest using a buffing wheel until later in the boats life when it losses some of its luster.

For the gel-coated portions of the boat....buff once per year with a buffing wheel and wax mid season if needed.
