Pardon my question, but I just want to make sure I understand correctly...
You are applying the Wax with the buffer and wiping the "haze" off with a cloth, correct?
Well I layed some Marine 31 AIO Polish and Wax on both the inside and outside of the hull and I must say it looks MUCH better. The only thing that it didn't cure was the 'ghosting' from the letters and the water line stickers.
Over all I'm pleased, but I want to put some Wax/sealant on it to...
Picked up some wool bonnets from HF Saturday to try out this rotary and see first hand how this boat detailing was going to be... The Atwood cleaner wax actually removed enough oxidation to give me some reflection in the gel coat in one of the more oxidized areas. However I tried another test...
Ok, for the top side ill be using M67 but not sure which Collinte to choose just yet.
Now for the side of the boat.. If I use a cleaner wax do I need to put Collinite wax on it as well?
On auto geeks site I can only find a 'light cutting' wool pad. Can I use that to put on the cleaner wax too...
Ill have to look them up. Honestly though ill probably order from auto geek because I received a coupon for signing up.
Just watched B&B Tennesse YouTube videos and all
I can say is I can't wait to start polishing this boat! I love restoring and seeing the end results!
Let me rephrase those first few sentences. I take care of my boat. This boat in the pictures was my parents but they brought it it me in Louisiana to fix and clean and use. They know I'll take care of it and eventually clean the hell out of it. Y'all should have seen it when I got it. DIRTY!!!

Shawn, thanks for the info!
Hoytman, thank you for the details!
I had some Atwood cleaner wax from a while back and hand waxed parts of the boat. The side of the boat in the picture has some on it and I tried some on the helm. The side of the boat cleaned up some but a rotary and some good...
Ok fellas.. And ladies.. This is my first attempt at detailing so bare with me.
I'll be detailing my parents (now mine haha) 2001 188cc Sailfish center console boat. To my knowledge it has never been detailed. The boat was bought new and used very little.
As for tools all I have is a HF...
I picked up a HF rotary this past weekend to use on my 18' boat, but I'm having a hard time on which wool pads to use? I saw that you picked yours up from HF, but did they have one for compounding and one for polishing? Or did you use the same type of pad for each step?
Looks like your work is...
