Jeff,
NICE Ride!!! You planning to use a power polisher? I would start 3M Perfect-it compound,I think you can do it by hand also. Then follow up with Finess-it to remove any compound haze. Again, nice ol boat...how did you find it? ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1117&sort=&pagenum=6" rel="nofollow - 64 American Skier 62 Classic.. 73 Ski Nautique |

I'll second the 3M products. My local paint shop had a promo going for a 3 pack of their compounds, basically a heavy, medium and light set. It wasn't specific to boats. I picked up that and a Makita polisher and went to work. I was going to hire it done, but I'm really happy with the results I've been able to get myself. Seems like the general consensus is to only hit it with the harshest polish that you need to cut the oxidation. For me, the oxidation at the water line needed the heavy cut and for everything else, starting at the medium worked. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=3284 - 1988 Ski Nautique |
