Wow! Dramatic difference in before and after. Can't wait to see the pictures. I bet that was a lot of fun for a bunch of those guys. Great chance for rotary experience as well.

Great job gang!!!

It was great having your help Nick for the extreme makeover, hope you had fun and now that you've seen what we do here at our Thursday night classes I hope to see you at some more future upcoming projects.

Consider brining one of you buddies that might like to join in the fun.

It really looks as good in person as it does in the pictures. I took some pictures of it after we moved it outside into the sun, I'll try to get them posted this week.

Carlos has become a very good friend of mine and "yes" he was thrilled with the results. He told me if I need some more boats for some future projects he can get them for me...

I agree. The key is two things, one cutting and polishing features of the Marine 31 line and second is the cutting and polishing features provided by wool cutting and polishing pads.

Gel-coats really like wool pads for both the cutting and finishing.

Another cool project to be a part of. I used the Marine 31 Stainless Steel and Aluminum Brightening Soap on the Bimini Top rails and cleats it was very easy to use with great results.
Look forward to the next boat make over.
