Jezabel is sounding sweet! I hate the winter "dust"....which reminds me that I need to pull my sea ray out.....bet she is covered in it! At least the cat didn't decide to sharpen its claws on your vinyl....I had that happen once, a hundred little holes! Can't wait to see her with the outdrive on her!

Im getting to it right now! just replaced the ignition switch and am in the process of replacing the last tire and rim on the trailer/ maintenencing the brakes on the drivers side and replacing that wheel cylinder...greasing replacing bearings and that last bearing wheel seal and then THAT will be done

gorgeous weather this week! hope the wind stays away for a little bit....been the windiest in Vegas of the last 30 years according to the news...

Re: PROJECT ~ JEZABEL 23' Sleekcraft Executive ~ Turbo Restore ~ Tons of pics

By the way...the POLI GLOW did NOT hold up on the dark wood look areas of teh boat...for some reason it became super hazy over the winter...we had her covered all winter...so nut sure whats up there...it mught be when it rained the wet boat cover was laying on the parts that look faded....and it jacked up the poli glow.....because the sides were OK...

so we wet sanded with 1000 grit.....and busted out the polishing wheel...and some meguirs polish.....swirl remover....made it look like GLASS! then we waxed it......
overall power polishing using qulity polish...was atleast 2 times shiner than the poli glow......

the ultimate probably would be wet sand / clearcoat automtive clear....wet sand that and polish that then wax for 10 year shine....
