After seeing that, I ran into a detailer who said he could my boat to look like that if he did a compound & wax process. I hired him to do it next fall. He works for a boat dealership now, doing detailing, but wants to go out on his own. Needed equipment, so I am buying him the equipment he wants in exchange for the fall project. He uses a compound called Tru-Grit, and loves the stuff for boats. We will see. Hope it looks as good as yours. 8-) er

Once I learned how to use the product (small amount, no more than 2 sq ft at a time, buffer turns at 800 and use a foam pad, work it until it dries and mostly off. Then wipe with a towel, and buff with a lambs wool) it took about a total of 6 hours. Well worth the effort. I am doing the cockpit tomorrow. I also use the same product on the windows too.

I think that's a big key. I think a lot of folks use way too much product and don't actually work what they have and end up just wiping off and wasting more. That hull looks great!

KM, correct! I did that too! Used way too much product, it would build up and not do its job, hard to remove, etc. Using less=great results !
