Boat Polishing
 

Well the contender I bought a few years ago had some oxidation so I figured I would DIY the job and same some cash.

I bought the shurehold system complete with their compound last year.
It definitely works well and it was a lot of work but it brought the dark gel coat back to life.

Fast forward to 2012 and I am back to oxidized gelcoat again and in doing a little research I tried the product below.

This 3m stuff worked much better and I used less of it.
It cut through the oxidation and it took me about 1/2 as long to apply and remove it.
Just passing this along to anyone who is in the same boat.

A coat of wax will follow to see if I can get it protected even longer between polishing.

Hey Glen, use the Colinite 920/925 pre wax/wax. Not cheap and it's a two step process but it's very good! TA Mahoneys has it.

I love that 3M Imperial! Cant say enough about it. I did my boat first then on to my painted alum box trailer. Both look AMAZING after buffing down with that stuff. My 1972 hull was heavily oxidized before a couple of applications with the buffer wheel. The picture is after 3-4 passes then a couple applications of Poly glow. You can actually SEE a reflection now!

POLY-GLOW works well for me

I will give it a shot!
Anything not to have to repeat this process yearly.

Ultima Paint Guard Plus is the shit. Wipe on and walk away. And it works well

Wax
 

After the Collininites prewax/wax, go over it with a coat of Collinites Insulator wax. Wax a 23 CC insite and out in less than 4 hours this past weekend, including the t-top.

Here is a bad cell phone picture of the work.
Anyone have any products to use on the aluminum T Top for pitting.
I have read about Woodys wax.
