What should I use for salt
I have a smaller boat that I had repainted this winter and want to know what would be good to put on it now. I use it in saltwater so every time I get back to the house I always spray it down, but not every time I have enough time to actually wash it with soap.
Is there anything I should apply, like a wax, overtop to help from the salt sitting on the paint?
the paint is Rustoleum topcoat, oil based. It is nothing fancy and used for fishing and hunting so it’s no garage queen. But I still would like to put a little effort into it. I don’t care about swirls or gloss, I just want it protected from sitting salt that I have missed when washing. And since this is not a garage queen boat , I would prefer longevity as well. I don’t want to be waxing every month. Is there something that would last 6months+ ?

How strong do your arms feel?
Here's my suggestion, wash the boat really well and the apply the SONAX Polymer Net Shield. This stuff is as close to a ceramic coating there is without actually being a ceramic coating. IN FACT - I have an article by this title.
SONAX Polymer Net Shield - Closest thing to a coating without being a coating
It is a tick on the sticky side to wipe-off. This is why you only apply a thin coat.

And one more....
We have another new product launching I think this week, not sure, Yancy is editing the video. I already have my review done and it's ready to share once I get the green flag.
This new product is also an Si02 products and also very easy to use. In my opinion and experience it is best applied by machine using any brand of simple free spinning random orbital polisher like a Porter Cable etc. BUT you can apply it by hand.
What for my review in this forum group.

And the product I was talking about is now public,
Review: Wolfgang Si02 Paint Sealant
Prep the paint accordingly and then machine apply a light or thin coat. Allow it to fully dry and then wipe-off excess.

Re: What should I use for salt
Salt away boat rinse for when you don't have time to wash. Not knowing how much time you are willing to invest on protecting, Mike's recommendation of the spray would be the easiest of all options. If you are willing to give it a good detail once a season before launch you can't go wrong with one of the synthetic based polymers that works for your budget. These will give you some longevity.
