New Owner Question 3; Restoring topsides

[hriehl1]

My new-to-me DS II has oxidized topsides just like its hull. Does one address it just as one does the hull (rubbing compound then polishing compound then wax)?

I'm a bit concerned getting floor and benches too shiney / slippery. Is this a valid concern?

getting it slippery is hazardous to your footing, and getting the topside shiney is hard on your eyes (seriously) when the sun is reflecting off of it. I power wash the top every year and leave it at that.

Johnsons floor wax, and similar products are designed to have a very effective NON-SKID formulation that will add to the safety and cosmetics of your decks and seats.
