[Rhodes22-list] gel coat treatment

[anima13]

Our new (very od and rarely tended) race boat needed pizaaz.
We used rubbing compound (3M) and an orbital polisher for two coats.
Then used 3M cleaner/wax. I was unhappy with the results (not even my
boat, but there I am working like a dog). I went to my boat and got the
Colonite wax for the final coat and John finally agreed that it put the
shine back on. took the two overs with the compound to get 'er up to
that. After all, prep is every thing!

Bob,
Maguire's has a three step process which starts off with their #49, heavy
duty oxidation remover. Second is their #45 polish and then finish it off
with
their # 56, pure wax. I did this to my blue hull and the colors lasted for
almost two years now. I'm about due to pull her do it again.
I also would recommend the use of a good orbital waxer/polisher. It will
save a lot of wear and tear on the arms. The first time I did this I used my
1/2" electric drill with a wool buff pad. Great body building exercise if
you
need it.
Be sure to follow each containers directions and you will have a gorgeous
hull once again.

Rummy
