Hi Brian - I followed your instructions pretty much to the letter and got great results. Had some oxidation starting on the hull of my 23-ft navy blue Sea Hunt. Your three step process worked wonders. Threatening to shave in the morning in the shimmer of the finished glossy hull. End step I used Collinite wax which produced excellent results. Only thing that I did different was drizzle a wee bit of Baby Oil on the pad for the polishing step [advice from a friend]. Thanks again. Joe

Thanks for your clear & concise presentation. After watching I purchased some Presta Supercut compound, Presta Ultra cutting creme (couldn’t find the chroma you used) & Collinite 476 super coat wax. I’m using it on a fiber glass Freightliner truck cab that is/was chalky. I couldn’t be happier with the results. I previously tried to use my car polishing equipment and wasn’t getting the finish I wanted. I looked on KZread and found you. (I would never have used anything this aggressive - but glad I took your advice). Thanks again.

Sportfishing Boats this question is for my bathtub, I have a well and high iron levels so the tub was stained, I got the stains out, I guess I over scoured it, it doesn’t shine anymore, I was wondering if I could do the first two steps to get the shine back and forget the wax because of bathing? Any thoughts?

Great Video! I liked and subscribed. Two quick questions about the process: 1) I assume I should clean the boat before cutting....is there a good effective way to do this in a Winter storage building without access to water from a hose? 2) In the past when I have attempted all this, there seems to be a chalky residue on the gelcoat after cutting.....should this be cleaned off before polishing? Again, any recommendations on how to do this, again without access to water? Thanks so much!

Just water spot remover Based on my reading I learned I did not use the bast wax they make for boats. Given where I am in the process what are your recommendations in terms of products ( pads and waxes etc) and process

I should make a video on. Farleca is the easiest wax to use. Get it on there.(foam applicator by hand). Wipe it off. Your done. It’s really that easy.

Watching from Glenside, Pennsylvania. I want to follow your instructional video step by step. Process and video use 3 different pads however, I only see 2 are listed in the product list. Looks like the green for polish and white for wax. Is that correct and what about compounding pad? I am would be happy to click on Amazon affiliate links to buy these products so you could get commissions from your advertising but I do not see any links.

Hey man, been a long time since you posted about buffing…watched all your vids but have questions. You still out there? Can you take a question?

Farleca and Mequiars👍. Unfortunately, 3M heavy cut isn’t that aggressive. If you have some heavy oxidation that’s not going to be fun. Plus that product is a pain in the arse to wipe off the surface when your done. 3M compound is a good product on paint for sure. On gelcoat not so much😕

I’m watching from Blairsville Ga. The North Ga. Mountains.

For a new boat: how do you poolish it? yust with the pad? No material? For the next waxing step wich wax do you recomend?

Followed your steps, used Presta products. The polish step is giving me issues. When I use the SuperCut compound with Presta pad and makita 1500 rpm, I get a very nice gloss, and the surface is very slippery. Once I use the Presta Ultra polish with associated presta pad at 1500 rpm, The surface loses maybe 5% of its gloss, but hte apparent defect I hate is that the surface is less slippery, less smooth to the touch. That doesn't make sense to me. It's almost as if the polish is damaging the surface. I'm honestly thinking about skipping the polish step and going straight to wax, but I know I shouldn't. I must be doing something wrong. But what? Any insight is appreciated. Great video BTW.

Very informative. Thank you!! I would like to know after steps 1 and 2 are complete and it’s time to wax. Do you wipe the wax over the hullside and wipe off with a cloth. Or do you also use a soft wool pad and complete the wax process the same as if you were doing step two polishing? Thanks in advance

You forgot to let the folks know at what speed should the polisher be at. To cut I’d say 1500 Polish 1000. Also how much working time on each step. I know it depends on the polishes/compounds.

Step 1 - shows a black buffing pad being used with the super cut. Step 2 - shows a the green buffing pad being used for the polish. Step 3 - does not show which buffing pad to use with the wax. In the written directions it doesn’t list the black buffing pad and only lists a green and white buffing pad. Do I need the black buffing pad to do the job? Thank you!

What type of cutting pads and polishing pads do you use? I’m buying a horribly sunburnt and oxidized fishing boat. I want to restore the top side to at least acceptable. BTW…I’m on a southwest flight between Raleigh and Baltimore. I live in Columbus ohio and the boat is at Lake Cumberland KY.
