Looking good. Wish my Cobalt 242 bow rider would fit in my garage for winter detailing instead of waiting until May to clean her up. What products n pads did u use. I typically have to start off with 3000 grit wet sand followed by wool (rotary), followed by pads. Takes me 2 full days.

In Picture from left to the right...
MCKee's waterless wash
Marine 31 Captain's One step compound and polish.
Marine 31 Vinyl cleaner and conditioner.
Dr. Beasley's Z1.
Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Surface Coating.
The Tahoe is less than a year old. Already used one season on the lake. Issues were that the waterline on hull were staining and getting harder and harder to remove.
From Rub rails on down to bottom hull, Dr. Beastley's Z1 and Black Label Diamond Surface Coating.
From rub rails-on up and over into the interior, McKee's Waterless wash and dried. Marine 31 Gel Coat Spray wax plus. And finished off with Marine 31 Vinyl Cleaner and Conditioner.
Areas of wet sanding were underneath hull and certain areas around the hull.
Wasn't sure what it was---appears to be some rough texture (80 grit feel) on the finish as result pulling hull off the mold???
Could not get it out with Captain's compound. Took 2000 grit paper and made couple light passes with McKee's waterless---came off super, super easy. (Not sure what it was. Something re removing boat from mold?)
The Marine 31 Captain's One Step was also used to spot polish certain stubborn spots, I.E. Dock rashes on sides, some dull areas from something rubbing and few areas that manufacturing Co. didn't finish off after removing from the mold.
