detail help
I have a Seafox 236 2006', last year I noticed one side of my hull, side thats in the sun the most, started to get a bit oxididized. A buddy of mine at a dealership normally had the hull detailed every year during service. That dealership closed and last year I tried to do it myself using 3m marine cleaner wax using a wool pad on a standard 6" polisher. To me that didn't get rid of the oxidation. What would be the best way to bring it back to a good finish?
Thanks |

Does it look something like this?

Typically the best and fastest way to remove oxidation is with a wool cutting pad on a rotary buffer using an aggressive compound. Doing a dedicated compounding step does mean you have to go around the boat at least twice because compounds don't offer or leave behind any water resistant protection. This means doing a second step to apply wax. Here's the boat we buffed out last week and we did two steps, Step 1 - Compound gel-coatPictures: 2000 Baja 232 Boss High Performance Extreme Makeover Before http://www.marine31online.com/galler...a_Boat_005.jpg http://www.marine31online.com/galler...a_Boat_011.jpg After http://www.marine31online.com/galler...a_Boat_022.jpg http://www.marine31online.com/galler...a_Boat_023.jpg :) |
Re: detail help
If the 3M cleaner/wax wasn't getting the job done then
A. You need to use a more aggressive product. B. You need to use a more powerful tool and possibly pad combo. C. Both of the above. Can you share a picture? :) |
