I use Poli-glo get it on internet at boat stores, Alot less hassel, no buffing just wipe it on let it dry an your done, requires multiple coats.

The kit has a cleaner that removes the haze and then wash boat and put the Poli-glo on.

I put on 6 coats by myself on my V and it took me about a hour.

Poli-glo - No Buffing????

Well that made me look into that Poli-glow stuff. Looks good but it ain't cheap. 60 bucks on ebay for a starter kit.

Last stuff I used was some west marine wax that came with the boat, used it with my buffer. I wasn't impressed.

Sometimes ya get what ya pay for...

I finished my Hull after the restore with Aqua-Buff 2000
Spread Aqua-Buff 2000 Compound and Polish on the surface to be compounded with a brush or cloth, several square feet at a time, and mist the surface with water. Immediately machine buff with a clean, damp lambs wool pad. Repeat the process to eliminate scratches from exceptionally hard surfaces. Should the compound become dry while being buffed, re-wet again by misting the surface with water.

I use this cheap buffer works like a champ http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=92623
If you like PM me our address and I will send you some sample to you, I have a lot leftover :) I also have the 1000 this is my "wet sander"..

I used 3M Fiberglass Restorer and Wax, about 10.00 a bottle. I applied it, misted with water in a spray bottle and used a buffer and wool pad first coat. Then ran second coat with water mist and buffer and polishing pad and was very pleased with the results! After all was done I gave it a good coat of wax, its held up great.

I use Starbrite PTEF Polish with Teflon on the Rosborough. We have a tough time with soot from the local coal powerplant settling on the boat. This stuff seems to make it easier to wash off the soot.

I also like the deck cleaner made by Starbrite. It seems to work better then Woody wax.

wjhat was that stuff Garagenc used, it put him in the hospital for not wearing gloves, but it looked real good. I think BCmanager used the same stuff

I think he spent a few days in the hospital after Willy's visit too...but I think there was another liquid involved other than boat soap...I don't know...I'm just sayin'...

Yea Reel and Spare

I didn't use good gloves and it ran down inside the gloves and soaked into my skin. It gave me a bad reaction. Use with good gloves.

I put it on and I haven't had to do anything since, it makes the boat look nice. I'll use it again I'll just wear some long sleeve gloves that go up to my elbow.

Ain't cheap but goes on quick and easy and lasts a long time.

P/s
I went into the hospital after Wille left so they could treat me for something the southern doctors described as "yankee syndrome" they said us southerners get it after a high impact visit from someone who really lives "way up north".

So it was the poli-glo that gave you the reaction?
