It just needs to be spruced up a bit. It has fine scratches.

Some "cleaner" type wax would be my first try on the wood grain. 3M's Marine Cleaner Wax is a good one I've used.
Something more aggressive like a compounding and the buffer will be needed for the black dash. Maybe even a wet sand first? ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

I will have to try the 3M cleaner (I think it is called "Finesse It"?) and maybe some rubbing compound. The PO did remove the all of the decals from the dash, which should make it easier to clean. (I'll have to replace those once I am done)
Thanks for the input. |

Tim, The "Finnesse It" is not the product I recommended. You can try it but it usually used as a final step in buffing after compounding. http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Marine/Home/Products/Catalog/?PC_7_RJH9U5230GE3E02LECIE20S4K7_nid=GSF21PNYLHbeH8PTZGX97Rgl - Here's the 3M cleaner wax ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |
