Boat wax?

[scook]

Thanks Step - I’ll print this out and put in boat file for when I get back to it. Work to do on the truck, finish cleaning out the shop and then back to the boat (after any projects my wife has for me).

A honey do list,yeah I got one too.

I always use 3M fiberglass restorer and wax . Keep a spray water bottle handy, keep it wet. I use a 6'' buffer and wool pad, dont put pressure on it and watch your corners. It can burn the fiberglass. It removes the oxidation and leaves a nice shine. You'll feel it get easy when the oxidation is removed, keep misting it with water. Let dry to haze and buff off with a towel. If its heavily oxidized, may take a couple of times.

If you got a buffer, it's easy. Just takes a while. Just wash your boat first and dive right into it. Wish I had time to help you.

Orbital or rotary? Buffer?

[cfelton]

I have a craftsman rotory buffer that I use, works great. Just go slow and keep it wet and moving around as not to burn the gelcoat. Not hard but usually takes a whole day to get it done. Wax good when you finish to protect it longterm.
