Tips for removal? Handed down a black highlander that's been neglected, paint its pretty dry and moderately oxidized on the hood and roof. I pressure washed it which took majority of sap off. I tried some sap/tar remover let it sit for a few and it didn't seem to phase it. Any tips or advice...

Just did a tower boat with ALL chrome, got me thinking about those balls, cones/fabric you attach to a drill to polishing out various metals. I know some are foam, wool(lake country), or some type of fabric or PVA. Anyone have any advice/tips on using them and which one works better or...

I've seen Mike use it in a video, what backing back and sanding discs can I use with the Meg's DA 110v2 polisher. Any tips for using the machine while sanding. Thanks in advance!

Any alternative way to remove compound residue . I've tried quick-detailers and Marine 31 polishing pad conditioner (which states it helps remove stubborn wax/compound residue). After I do a quick spray n wipe it always discolors the surface, like it removed some of the polishing oils or...

I work with a lot of boats but just curious about other people input/advice. How to get the most cut out of a rubbing compound on gelcoat. I'm using a rotary and wool comp pad. How much pressure, buffer speed, amount of product used ect.. I usually deal with a lot of heavily oxidized and or...

Looking for a hd compound for gel-coat, that won't dry out, even in full sun, dry weather, and being heavily oxidized. The last boat I did I have a miserable time with the conditions above, even with the really expensive 3m imperial. I used the Marine 31 spray polish and pad conditioner, it...

Is it better to apply product to the surface or the pad. I'm typically using a rotary and wool and or 50/50 yellow polishing pad.

Starting to compound a Robalo with a tan/Lt brown hull. I did a section, with rub compound, wool & rotary, looked ok, did another pass, looked better. I checked with my a bright flashlight, it still had some haze, along with faint water spots and some random drip marks. At this point should I...

I've polished out some aluminum hatch frames. ( besides having them anodized again), what are the best options to keep them shiny and protect them from oxidizing? Wax, acrylic metal sealant, or some type of clear coat? I use flitz blue paste polish every so often to keep them really shiny...

Looking for some tips to improve applying compound by hand(mostly gel). Just areas where the buffer won't fit, so I can get the most even finish. Should I use a folded up MF or terry towel, MF applicator, compound foam applicator, pressure, number of passes, how often to clean/change applicator...

Here's my list of the worst gel's I've run into, Carver's, Californian', Lurhs, Ocean Yachts,Bertram,silverton/meridian, egg harbor,Catalina's, bayliners, searays can range from terrible to amazing. Chances are that's I've run into some bunk gel coats, overall from my experience this is what...

Anybody ever buff/polish varnish, I'm sure it's like polishing a thick clear coat, susceptible to the same uv, waterspots and scratching. I've seen a 3m video and they use regular compound, polish, and wax. I don't think anybody in the harbor does this, they just have there wood sanded/stripped...

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...

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

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...
