These scratches have been here since day one of receiving the boat. I've tried to correct them on my own, but have had no luck with the tools I've mentioned (the DA, the meguiar's M105 and the orange pads). I can't feel these at all, the finish is very smooth. I may try the more aggressive...

I'm not having any luck removing the unfelt scratches in my gel coat. I'm using (aggressively) the 7424XP, an orange pad and Meguiar's 105 compound. Does anyone else have a suggestion on what to try next? This is a 2012 boat and I've noticed these scratches since day 1. What is the...

This particular Tundra is a single stage white paint. Their white Tundra's are the only single stage in their fleet.

Hey all, I've started applying the 840 and this stuff is not coming off with a hand towel. I'm applying a THIN coat with my DA on a medium speed with a blue applicator sponge pad. When I apply to a small area and wipe immediately, I still have a light haze or residue left over that absolutely...

The truck was clayed this past winter.

Hello again! I'm ready to do my mid summer CLEANING of my single stage white 2012 Tundra and had a question regarding paint cleaner/prep prior to waxing with Collinite's 476S. I believe I have a couple options according to some of the forum topics and manufacturer instructions on paint...

That's what I was afraid of, I'm not wanting them to be soft and flimsy. Hopefully they maintain some sort of stiffness while working the canvas. So, would a stiff bristle be a better option?

Hello, which would be the better choice of a boars hair brush for boat covers, bimini tops, front visors, side curtains, etc.? These are sunbrella, marine fabrics. Thank you

OK guys, here is an update to the UNgarage kept Tundra. I spent 7 hours washing, claying and waxing last weekend. I applied Meguiars #20 Polymer by hand and the truck has been outside, undriven since then. I'd like to know what your next course of action would be for the winter. My...

Bill, is the DG 501 that you're referring to the Marine RV polish? This is the only product that appears when I do a search for the DG 501 cleaner or Duragloss 501 - either one I search, I get the Marine RV cleaner. If this is not the product you're referring to, can you provide me a link to...

Bill, I like this approach for now, since we're getting close to winter, this process seems like I can eliminate a couple steps when comparing to the opti coat 2.0 route. I'll have a little more time this Spring to really take my time and consider the opti 2.0 application. I currently have a...

Thanks Rayaz, I know what you mean about "totally psyching yourself out". I am looking for a competent person to do this in my area due to being uncomfortable with the potential of getting bad results if I do it myself. I'll check out some youtube videos and try to determine a comfort level of...

Hey guys, I have a new vehicle and would like to know what my best protection products are and how you would go about caring for a non-garage kept vehicle. This will not be a daily driver, but will be exposed to the great Midwest weather. I'd like to know what products you would use and what...

This is a clean, brand new finish and have since done what was suggested in your first post Mike...and that is to work in a smaller area and to bump up the speed and not buff to a dry finish, but rather leaving a wet film. This has worked wonderfully and YES, the M20 leaves a VERY NICE slick...

Good advice, after reading this, I was doing a couple things wrong. I think I was using too slow a speed and working a larger area on my final buff. Although I was trying to remember the DVD that I purchased with my 7424 about final buffing/polishing and I thought it mentioned to slow the...

Hello, I'm a new user of my DA 7424xp machine and while out on the water this weekend I noticed a good amount of swirls. I'm pretty certain this isn't in the gel coat and it's just a matter of application/user error of my PC 7424xp. What I used was the Meguires #20 polymer sealant and a white...
