So many different methods and products.
My boat is a 1994 and it may have never seen a coat of wax. I've had this boat for 2 years and it's got some dull color all around and some oxidation stains on the water line. I am a total novice at this and the research is head spinning. I have decided that I would like to NOT go through coumpounds or wet sanding. I am a handy DIY sorta person but wet sanding could go very wrong.
From my online forum searching, it seems that there are old products and old ways to bring back the shine and then there are new 'all in one' products that seem too good to be true.
So, the current plan:
1. Soap and clean the boat
2. Acetone rag and rub
3. 3M Marine Cleaner & Wax #09009
https://www.amazon.com/3M-09009-Mar...=UTF8&qid=1544215366&sr=8-2&keywords=3m+09009
And then I'm done? Does that 3M product allow for me to skip the final wax job? What about Polishing?
Other product suggestions?
Oh yeah, I've got a small chip/gouge in the fiberglass that I'd like to take a shot at fixing. All's I've got for that is the real basic Bondo Glass from HomeDepot, which seems like the right product? -- got any suggestions on that? Or is the fiberglass fill/fix harder than it looks?
Thanks Crew!!
