Ok so story is.... I agreed to do this boat for a friend for a Poker Run. I originally thought I would do full paint correction.... but after attacking the deck, and talking with my friend that was helping me with the detail, we agreed a full paint correction was unnecessary as the boat was probably going to end up the same way again. I decided rather than trying to make this thing 100% and risk taking off too much clear...I was better off finding a less aggressive combo and getting 60% correction and leaving the much needed clear on. So, 2004 39 Outerlimits. Again, HAMMERED. Honestly, I think the paint is too far gone. I was defeated on this one guys. I only had two days with the boat. After spending an entire day on the upper portion of the rub rail I knew there was no way in hell I was going to be able to finish the entire boat underneath the rub rail. I ended up doing a quick finishing polish PF 4/6 with an uber yellow pad on the sides. For the deck I used an HD Black Lambswool with FG 400. I began with ONRWW+ followed up with a nanoskin wash mit.

The morning started off cold... mid 30's. Eventually got up to the 60's thank god.

Are there not specific products for working with boat gel coats? I thought they had super thick paint/clear (gel coat) just because of their intended use?

Anyway, the boat looks fantastic now.

Thanks guys! This boat is paint, not gel coat so marine 31 was not an option on this boat. :)
