What do you use to wash your boat? A brush on a pole, a wash mit, or a microfiber towel?

Same thing here...shurhold brush and an old cotton t-shirt. I have not waxed mine since I just got it...but I am looking for Todd's help in doing that!
I've waxed mine once since I got it.....you'll have to help me out with your new knowledge from Todd!
Ivory Soap in a bucket of water using a soft brush on a pole. Use the same soapy water with a stiff brush for the aggressive nonskid Tiara uses. Chamois with the wide mop thingies on a pole to dry things off. My experience with towels and micro fiber products is they strip wax.
I am planning on doing mine next week. I will give you the details once I get everything squared away!

I use the same pole/brush we use to wash our cars, pick them up at Wal-Hell, I mean Wal-Mart or Target, and then use a firmer brush to clean the non-skid.
We have been happy with the YachtBrite line of cleaners:

What do you use to remove/buff off wax? I've been using microfiber towels..
I use a cotton hand towel with any sewing cut out of it and boat soap. Meijer had their boating stuff 75% off so I picked-up 10 bottles of their boat soap. It works very well to remove the black streaks and does not strip the wax. I don't like brushes as they tend to hold the dirt. I experienced this once on my beautiful black car and will never use one again. I talked to a professional detailer who maintaines those fancy sports cars and he told me that I should never use anything that is not 100% cotton and never use a brush. They WILL scratch the surface. Think about how a brush is designed. Thousands of 'fibers' pointed directly at the surface and pleanty of opportunities for the fibers to trap dirt.
