My fault forgot to reply to this.
So this is the final polishing boat wax I used. In addition to this I also used this and this. For the clay bar I used Meguirs. For the tire shine I used this.
>What are some ways of preventing theft of the scooter? Does it involve some specialty lock or perhaps being specific about where I park?
I have a [Gorilla Alarm] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00J3QM4SS/ref=twister_B00WGCGQWQ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1) on my scoot but sometimes it goes off unexpectedly and it drains the battery quick if you don't ride your scooter often.
I use to use a U-Lock to attach to my wheel but I've almost rode off a couple of times with it still attached so I hardly use it.
You can get one of [disc brake locks] (https://www.amazon.com/Master-Lock-8303DPS-Disc-Brake/dp/B0009V1WR0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469235803&sr=8-1&keywords=disc+brake+lock) that attaches to your front brake disc and comes with a reminder strap that you attach to the handlebars so you don't ride off with it still attached.
But I highly suggest getting full coverage insurance if you don't have it already in case the scooter does get stolen. Scooters are so light that 2 people could lift it onto the back of a truck and take off. The money you get back from full coverage insurance is surprisingly fair, at least with State Farm.
>I live in Houston. The sun is pretty intense and I love the paint job on my scooter. Is there a way to protect the paint with products or is a simple scooter cover the solution?
This is a great question because if you don't protect the body, it will start fading on you.
You can either use a [paste wax] (https://www.amazon.com/Mothers-05500-California-Brazilian-Carnauba/dp/B0002U1TVW/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1469236135&sr=1-1&keywords=mother%27s+wax) or [liquid wax] (https://www.amazon.com/Mothers-05750-California-Brazilian-Carnauba/dp/B0002U1TX0/ref=sr_1_2?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1469236135&sr=1-2&keywords=mother%27s+wax) to give you the best protection. Remember to follow the instructions that come with the wax.
You can use a [spray wax] (https://www.amazon.com/Mothers-05724-California-Gold-Spray/dp/B001MXX5D8/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1469236261&sr=1-1&keywords=mother%27s+spray+wax) which is the easiest to apply and remove but it doesn't offer the same kind of protection that a paste or liquid wax gives.
Btw, I only used Mother's as an example but most of the brands that you find at your local auto parts store should be fine. Also, make sure to always use a Microfiber towel when doing anything on the scooter's body. Microfiber towels scratch the body the least vs. any other kind of towel.
I believe boards are usually finished with an increasingly fine series of sandings, a couple coats of varnish, and then carnuba wax. I heard the Mayday boards are topped with a wood veneer that is then waxed. I'm not sure if you would want to go back and varnish the veneer, but you can definitely get some quality wax and go to town. This wax is pretty highly regarded.
Edit:
Not sure why the link formatting isn't working. C'est la vie.And I figured it out.I just built a board and found a thread somewhere that I can't find now [edit] Found it that compared wax and various other stuff for making the board slick. They arrived at the conclusion that this spray is more slick than carnuaba wax. After trying it, I think I agree, and it's easier to apply.

Also, boric acid is toxic.
"The best alternative to boric powder is potato starch. It was used in the last CarromWorld Cup in 2017 in UK. All western countries use potato starch as boric acid is considered to be toxic if inhaled."
I had a blast tonight. Thanks for everything. I look forward to next time.
Is this the wax you bought?
