Hats off to you but christ Steve, you must have a very high boredom threshold! 'Lee Shores, Lazy Jacks & Lunches' recommends industrial floor polish (£30 for a tin), they reckon it works a treat as it puts a very tough polymer coat on the hull surface. You might need to try it in 6 months time… 🙂

Thx for sharing your experiences. Thats a big investment of time; looks good ! Did you choose not to wear gloves, earplugs, respirator etc ?

'3M; you need a PhD to figure out which one to use'…luckily you have someone on board who has one of those!

Really helpful. How do you know of the gelcoat is too far gone to polish it back?

Nice work. I found that less compound and polish is better for working into a high gloss polish . I watched a professional boat Detailer doing the yacht next to ours and he used only a few dots each time but white is an easier colour that’s for sure.

Great transformation, the UV wax does a great job, I hope it lasts a while after all that effort.

I have a fiberglass freshwater boat. Some companies offer a treatment of muriatic acid to remove oxidation. What do tou know about this option? Rick

Great content as always, thanks! I am wondering if this is "only" a cosmetic thing or is it important for the structure of the hull?

What no "polish on, polished off'?

Looks beautiful but not sure I would want to spend that much time and effort to go from looks good from 10 feet to looks good from 10 inches 😉 I think in my case, I will do more of a satin/flat finish…. but then, I am tied to the fisherman's wharf, so maybe that work boat look fits better anyway. I should add that you are making your home look good while mine is at best, the summer cottage.
