I worked in a new dealership in my teens and we charged a lot for polymer wax application, not sure if that is the way to go.
I want something that will last at least a couple of months.
At the moment I've been using poor boys products (I think they're American so you can probably get that brand) - they seem OK value for money - not as silly as some of the exotic surfboard solutions. I'm not sure if you'll get two months in grotty weather though...
