L&I Detailing
New member
I was recently sent a bunch of samples by a company called Woody Wax. I use their blue spray multi purpose wax all the time and see their product selection goes pretty deep. They sent me some of their orpine soap which is excellent and some waxes and compounds.
This past weekend I had a boat that was an absolute train wreck, normally wouldnt take this kinda job because I dont need to do boats like this anymore but it was for one of my really good customers and Im training some new guys how to buff so it worked out fine. Im going to help him sell it so he can use the money to put some big A$$ diesels in his big boat.
This woodys wax compound is a diminishing abrasive such as 3m imperial which im a huge advocate of. It feels somewhat gritty not as gritty as 3m but still has a lot of grit to it. It applies to the surface easily doesnt dry up. HERES where im perplexed, unlike any other compounds ive tried this doesnt dust when buffing only when cleaning your pad, instead it gets tacky like a thick paste wax. Im not sure what to make of that if that means it has a ton of fillers in it or what the deal is.
Any help is appreciated, below are some pictures of the boat.
Another compound series I was recently sent a bunch of samples to try was Sea Shield. They make a three part series 1&2 are fairly gritty, great cut to each not too much dusting and part 3 is a swirl remover, very oily basically takes the wax to remove all of the swirl removers residue. A lot of real high end super yacht detailers are using it now a boat called diamonds are forever was recently buffed with it.
