In this video I show you 3 easy steps to restore your boats shine and cut/remove oxidation. we are going to buff then polish and then wax. hope this video helps show you how to get your boat looking like new again.
I'm new here I like your easy step by step video my wife showed me the video after purchasing the products that you are using. My question is can I buff the boat and polish later. I mean I want to oxidize my boat first and then continue to polish and wax later Tell me your thoughts
Yes buff first then polish and then wax. I like to do 1 side at a time and go through all 3 steps. Before moving on. Just how I like to do it, to remember where I left off.
Love this video! I've not waxed my boat yet. Still new (to us) does that wax hold up in salt water? Also, do you do the inside of the boat? Floor? Walls? Thanks.
Once you return the shine, I wax all of the smooth fiberglass surfaces. The wax will hold up for 3-6 months ive heard. But you need to buy a boat soap that wont remove the wax layer. Don’t use dish soap, buy a good boat soap.
I use the same 3m pads for polish and wax. I buy 2 and use 1 for polish step and 1 for wax. You could prob use a microfiber pad for wax stage if you wanted.
If your decals are not real metal then the compound will basically (sand them down). I just go over mine but a detail buddy of mine pulls them off of boats and doesn’t reapply them. Hope that helps
I’ve never had a boat oxidized enough for wet sanding. But I’m sure professional detailers encounter them often. I just do my own boat and never had to wet sand
You can do it either way. I normally compound one whole side, then polish then wax and then move to the other side and repeat. But my boat isn’t very large.
I'm not sure who told you that you cant clean and reuse the pads, because you absolutely can, I use Chemical Guys pad cleaner on mine, and they come out great
After all the steps are done I move the umbrella to my next spot. It’s similar to don’t wax a car in direct heat of the sun. The bottle of the product should give you temperature recommendations for applying
Sorry dude...I have used this on my lightly oxidation gel coat, it didn't even make summer, and yes I used an orbital buffer..in my opinion there is alot better!!
