I am polishing my Whaler for the first time and have never had a fiberglass boat before. I bought Meguiar's One Step Cleaner /Wax. The boat is kept in my garage and has no bottom paint. I might take it on vacation and leave it in fresh water for a few days (is that ok without bottom paint?)

Do you wax just the exterior or interior too? What about the no-skid texture inside; do you avoid it or use a different product? How about the bottom where the boat is sitting on the bunks; skip that part?

Should I use this wax on bow rail, console, cleats, outboard?

Thanks for helping... as you can tell I'm very green at maintaining my fairly new Whaler.
