Been reading on how to bring back the shine on my 1992 Cobalt 222. It is slightly oxidized and has a light white haze on the sides and has a water line that I want to get rid of. Since this is my baby I want to really shine her up and make her look new.
1. I am going to use 1000 to 2000 wet sandpaper as the first step to cut the oxidations.
*****IS IT OKAY TO USE AN ORBITAL POLISHER TO SAND?******
2. Then Mequires One Step Compound No.67 applied with Porter Cable orbital polisher.
3. Then polish with Meguiar's Polish No.45 applied with Porter Cable orbital polisher.
4. Then Meguiar's Wax no 63 applied with Porter Cable orbital polisher.
This is my first boat and detailing job so I want to double check before I get too excited and waste a lot of energy and time doing it wrong.
I have tried the vaseline and it just didn't bring back enough of the original shine.
Most of the haze is on the sides and the interior and top gel coat look great and have plenty of shine.
Thanks for any suggestions or other products techniques to use.
