mike60 Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 My boat is anything but new (1996) & as with a lot of older boats time isn`t too kind to the gelcoat, mine was that flat it looked like it had been left in a field for a few years or sprayed with matt paint, So, last year I bought myself two big tubs of Aquabuff 1000 & 2000 grades & as the weather has been quite nice over the last couple of days I set to work with a variable speed polisher & lambs wool pads. A good set to with the 1000 grade made the surface gunge disapear & I could see my face in it, but when I had changed from the 1000 to the 2000 it really made the difference, the boat is absolutely gleaming now. I still have two big buckets of Aquabuff & if anyone at the club is thinking of giving thier boat a going over they are welcome to borrow the gear from me which includes both tubs, Polisher & all the pads.

Gazza Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 I was thinking of doing mine (warrior 165), but was hoping to get someone to do it Keep meaning to phone that place Wedger used, but time just seems to vanish at the mo, might be better to get it done by the pro's as the hull is all chines and curves etc. Unless you fancy another challenge Mike Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its one of those jobs where you get a quarter of the way through & wish you hadn`t started, but when its finished your arms are that knackered you can`t hold a cuppa up but the boat looks great Mike.

Jim Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Thanks very much Mike, I'll come and get it, just in case I get a chance to make a start. I'll PM my phone No. Now all I need to do is convince some of the women folk that they would enjoy doing it ! ! ! I've probably got more chance of catching a fish than convincing Jacquie and my Daughter to polish a boat. Thanks. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
