It's a good idea to resize your pictures to a viewable size before uploading them, I use 800 pixels as a standard, this is 800 pixels wide

I'm going to use it today to resize boat pictures and pictures from the cars we shot in Bristol, Tennessee for this weekends Episode 3 of our TV show.
 
I love and prefer boat detailing myself ... big long easy to buff panels! and they pay better!!!

Are there any marine/boat/watercraft detailers here? Seasoned as well as rookies. Just curious because this is not a topic covered very much here.

We are here hiding in the shadows or busy detailing another rv or boat ...
 
I did a boat yesterday. It wad defintely an experience. My GG DA handled the job but I could of used a rotary for sure!

I also got stuck on 1 thing.

I went over an area where a decal had "burned" through. No matter what I threw at it it never fully went away. I used several compounds, different pads etc and no dice. Any of you vets know a secret or is my DA just not strong enough to pull it out?
 
try wet sanding it with 1000 grit then buff it . rotary is the best and may not need to be sanded then .heat will kill you and the stickers .

im not afraid to wet sand but I am afraid my GG DA wont be able to buff out the sanding marks with the pads I have. Might have to hold off until I get the new dewalt
