Spring Polishing has begun

Wow is right!! I'd better head to my boat and see if my marina has done as good a job on mine!!

 

I also like the Meguire products.

 

You guys are turning this into a “mines bigger than yours” contest! These hulls are looking great! I hope mine comes out that good!

 

Careful, you may have to use the trim differently now. One side may be slipperier than the other.

 

My yard will move boats around to accommodate early launchers, but keep us inside the building until our launch date.

 

You lucky. When I pulled in November they said pick a launch date so I said 4/1. Big mistake. Huge. They stack by launch date, going in ready or not. Now 3/5 and no where ready, need manifolds risers, lots of work didn’t plan on. So screwed

 

maybe someday I’ll move indoors when the only get ready task is some cleaning and polishing but I’ve always been outdoors and I like it for that reason. I’ve been at the boat once a week since October and the yard only wants 1 day notice for splash because no one blocks each other in.

 

Special thanks to Blueone for the Smoove suggestion. Using the bubblegum followed up with the whitecloud. Pretty amazing stuff and pretty easy to work with...

 

Fantastic shine. I am current using Meguiars flagship, but always wonder if there is something better. What type of boat soap do you use?

 

Good luck with your polishing I say it every year it’s the only time that you wish you had a smaller boat when your cleaning it. And indoor non heated storage I payed around 2200 for a 40 footer

 

This will remove hard water spots very very easily make sure it’s white vinegar and wipe down boat with water after and dry with towel works amazing

 

@Bottom Line I'll have to check. But I can tell you it is not a name brand or a name tied to polishing products, like Meguiar's. It is cheap, $20/gallon, flourescent pink soap.

For you users of Smoove....how do you think it holds up? I am considering trying it. I have been using Meguiars, and think I have a good shine, but think it never lasts long enough (but that may be with all waxes).

 

Thanks! I’m also in freshwater and in a covered slip. What Smoove products have you used?

 

I am considering this same 2 step process on my 330 DA but Meguiars discourages using the Flagship Wax over a Cleaner Wax. Did you use anything before these 2 Products? Was it the M50(blue bottle) cleaner wax followed by the FlagshipM63 Premium Wax? How did you apply the products, polisher or by hand?
Thanks
