After all the good things I have heard about this wax I decided to give it a try. There were a couple different ones there. I bought the Collinite No. 870. Special Heavy Duty Fleetwax. Did I get the right one?
sometimes i sit and think, and sometimes i just sit

i have always used the 885 but im certaian what you bought is a good product. one suggestion i have would be to also buy some starbrite polish with PFTE and polish before you apply the collonite. (very easy on and off). I dont know how large your ride is either though. The fleet wax is labor intensive, just do a small section of your hull at a time. I use painters tape to mark off a section at a time and it works well using this method. Use the collontie cleaner before you do anything. she will c ome out pretty- good luck. here are a couple pix of my 78 seacraft from last year (still shining by the way!
hope this helps, (had to show off my ride a little as well,lol)

They also had the paste. I decided to go with the liquid. Maybe thats the difference on the numbers. I think I will take your advice and use the cleaner. It only makes sense. Thanks!
the insulator wax works great on isen glass just put it on like snot and rub it around some before ya buff it out the same stuff on the tower metal and back deck keeps the salt off and makes it easy to clean and shammy
