    Polishing an aluminum boat

    Just like waxing paint. A little goes a long way. Seals your hard polishing and buffing work thus slows down future oxidation. Plus cleans the remnants of residue in the process.

    Closed cell. Try a backing plate that dissipates heat. Or change/clean your pads after each section pass. May stretch out the detail time wise, but will allow a cooling period.

    Spray Sealants

    Optimum Opti-Seal 8 oz. Free Bonus! New & Improved! Can be layered with OCW. Although it is overkill, I'll OptiSeal my car one week for that crisp sealant look, then the next time I'm in town I'll layer on the OCW to warm up the end product.

    Give me a rough date on when you are planning on doing this project and I'll lend a helping hand. I will bring tools and supplies. Need at least two weeks notice or I can load a run through your area. I believe the biggest issue is rust transferring from the steel hay rack. Evidenced by the...

    Rotary or DA? What product and pad were you using? Closed cell pads don't retain the liquid quite as readily. Therefore they tend to not overheat as quickly. MF pads heat up quickly also.

    Darkening after polish

    Mike said it best, but I also know that different grades of 'rouges' and extended last step buffing intervals yield varying 'color' end product. Finishing with a 10" buffing wheel used at high rpm without product for an extended period of time yields the best end product IMO. Interesting to...

    Paint feels like sandpaper

    Maybe the answer lies in all of the trees in the background. Lone Star fauna wreak havok on vehicle surfaces. Are the mirrors and glass just as rough?

    Meg's Hyper Dressing Sucks!

    I used to keep several spray bottles mixed at different dilutions for customer desired result. Hyper dressing is a top notch product. When I lived in the Mojave it gave me the high gloss wet look on my then new FJ that I desired with relatively low sling- but sling nonetheless. I recall...

    Why is everyone afraid of rotary polishers? And what's this about not finishing properly?

    As time progresses and as you reach the pinnacle in your skill set I truly hope you open the door to this wonderful time saving tool and what it can offer. EDIT: gonna have to get a PE-8 soon myself. Gonna fit nicely in my arsenal.

    Meg's Hyper Dressing Sucks!

    Meguiars D170 Hyper Dressing What was your dilution? I used this product for years before switching over to AM Cool Blue - mainly for price difference. I no longer use either.

    Darkening after polish

    Actually, IIRC, the above DEF Door was cut by hand. Somewhere about 11 hrs in DEF door alone. Over thirty hours on doors and step threads over labor day wknd in Harrisburg, Pa. I was hoping to use Tuscarora Dave's shop and my pro products and tools but the tractor trl combo would disrupt his...
