[Rhodes22-list] Paint questions

[Jay Friedland]

Mark,
My hull was painted 4 years ago, and the Awlcraft info was what I got  
from the factory one or two years ago said. I'll need to confirm  
everything when Stan gets back, as my difficulties may be by mixing  
different paint systems. Jury's out on this. Awlcraft 2000 also  
requires their own wash concentrate and polish, which I'd kill to get  
away from as well. What care have others used to wash and wax their  
paint job?
