Here is Harris's Axis rear stabilizer all finished.
This is controversial among sailors, but after wet sanding to 1500, I put on two coats of caranuba wax. Half the racing sailors will say just wet sand to keep the boundary layer attached to limit friction to water-water.
In my experience, I can feel the drag when the finish is just wet sanded. I've also tried placing a coat of clear enamel to help fill the minute scratches and that helps. The fastest finish I have felt in my experience is a coat of wax.
Done - next up is finishing Bryce's ding repairs on his longboard.
