I read the article for the DA polishers, but didn't say much about rotary. Is it any different for convoluted or CCS ect compared to all flat pads

I think there usually Acrylic or Polycarbonate. I've gone over them lightly with a buffer to remove some haze but never accually tried to polish them out in fear of distorting or hazing ruining them. I'm sure it's similar to restoring headlights, usually the windows get scratched and beat up a...

They have micro-mesh sandpaper form 1500-12000 grit.

I just checked that link its actually $1750, not $750. I'll take 2 just incase one falls in the water.

I've seen that same picture on the "sailnet" fourms". Would be nice if the factory would leave a Stamp somewhere of the paint type. Most owners I've talked to have no clue what the boats painted with, unless it was recently done. I've seen a lot of owners and contractors painting with Awlgrip...

There website says they have multiple pads, from comp to finishing, even sanding, with there own line of polishes and sealants. At almost 13lbs you better have strong, your guaranteed to be sore after a days work

Just discovered this awkward looking polisher browsing around the net. Says it produces swirl free and its non marring on paint and gelcoat. Suppose to improve job efficiency by up to 50%. Mostly used in large RV's and mega yachts. Any body ever hear or use one of these before

Some of the LP's like Awlgrip be very sensitive, in the marine environment. They recommend no abrasive polishes, not even wax,( they say it can yellow the finish). No acids, even metal polish. More info here: http://www.awlgrip.com/support-and-advice/topcoat-maintenance.aspx. Once the shell has...

That's one sick looking Camaro!

Thanks for the Complements!!!

Turned out great. Has a high quality gel-coat, besides the tornado of swirls left by the last company who detailed it. Do to the limitations my boss gives me (just compound and wax with same pad type) it's hard to squeeze in some real polishing/swirl removal. My Knowledge about products and...

3m's finesse-it and perfect it are great for polish/swirl removing and glazing.

Thanks for the great response

3m & Megs marine line works great, so does presta and Farécla. Collinite paste wax #885 anything else and your wasting your time and money.

A video demo of some M31 products being used in the hot humid weather would be great. Still a little skeptical, every other product is terrible in those conditions.(Megs Marine m67 does good in those conditions).

Umm. Water based polishes, compounds and glazes .What are there pro and cons.

???????

Water vs oil/silicone/wax etc.. based compounds and polishes. Like products from Presta an Farecla. Besides dieback from the oils. What are there pros and cons, ease of use?

I mostly (only) work on boats(rotary),I'm very slowly edging my way to car/paint. I bought a Megs DA v2 polisher, but have have yet to use it. Currently I'm limited to what my boss instructs me to do, (compound, wool&wax), I want to do more but limited at the moment. I have yet mess around with...
