I have a 2000 Fiberglass bass fishing boat that is in need of a detail job come spring. I am trying to learn now about all of the products and machines to use during winter as I need to do this in April. The boat was just purchased in August and is in very good condition. The top deck is a dark green color and has lost some of its sparkle and shine to do a little oxidation. There are also a few minor scratches. The rest of the boat is silver and just needs a good wax.
I just bought a Harbor Freight DA polisher and two foam pads, a compounding and a waxing one.
This is my plan for spring:
1. Wash and rinse boat with water and boat soap.
2. Compound top deck with DA polisher
3. 2 coats of wax.
My question is what products will best suit my needs? Origionally I was going to buy G17216 Ultimate Compound, but then I saw that there is one for marine applications- 67. Also, am I better with one of those or using 49- marine oxidation remover?
As far as a wax, I have used turtle wax paste before and it did a decent job. What would be the best to use with my DA polisher?
Thanks!
