Since I know you guys would know...what is the best way to polish the rudder, strut and prop to bring back the "like new" shine to those parts? Any ideas? ------------- Dave D. http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5525&sort=&pagenum=4 - '89 Sport Nautique http://www.golaketravis.com/webcam/ - Lake Travis, Texas! |

Took about 4 days for my new stuff to look not new, maybe theres a wax or something that would give you a bit more time but unless someone knows of it here I would agree that polishing is not worth the effort... ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |

I used some 3M Super Duty compound on an old wool pad with the high speed buffer. It looks a whole lot better than it did when I got it and it is still looking pretty good after all summer in and out of the water.

I thought about it once and concluded that it was a waste of time since you have to get on your hands and knees to look under there.
