Hey guys. I`m taking on quite a beast of a project in detailing a 32 foot boat. The boat is fairly new and has been kept in good shape. I`m halfway done with the hull - and have been using automotive products, although I suspect there are better suited marine products available for the gelcoated finish. I have so far done a two step process of optimum hyper compound applied via PC, followed up by collinite 885 fleetwax with `good` results although the finish is not perfectly clear, there are minor imperfections in the finish. I do have and am experienced with a rotary buffer - although with so much hull I did not want to have to clean up after a rotary with the PC as an extra step. Does anyone have a recommendation on a polish to use with a foam pad and rotary that will get a little more correction yet still finish cleanly? It`s a white gelcoat.
Secondly, the top deck is covered with what I guess I`ll call a `diamond cut` anti-skid surface. I would imagine this would shred up a foam pad pretty quickly. Normally when cleaning it, soft scrub does the trick, or occasionally starbrite hull and deck cleaner with PTEF. What sort of products/process would bring this area to the next level?
Thanks
