Klepper once sold a wax for rubber hulls, but I don't know what a modern substitute would be. Keep the hull away from excessive heat, ozone, and direct sunlight. That will help preserve it.
Thanks, it's water tight but not beading on the deck much so a wax would be good.
Will a link to instagram work? If so here are some pics
https://www.instagram.com/neil_wragg/The wax was for the rubber hull. Don't put anything on the deck- that will actually compromise its waterproof properties. Canvas gets its waterproof qualities from the fibers swelling up when they get wet. Anything that prevents the fibers from absorbing water will prevent that from happening. Just keep it clean.
