SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Here is the beginning of photos galore. This is a 2002 17' Bass Pro Shop Crappie 175 Pro I'm doing for a client. This is my FIRST boat detail. Now this boat is neglected like crazy. Come to me spider webs, interior trashed, exterior aluminum oxidized and dull and more....
As talking with the customer, they are wanting to sell the boat, so it's not a full hardcore show style boat detail. Now the polishing is hardcore, meaning it's hard and hurts my core, lol.
Mario from Please Wash Me Detailing turned me onto wool pads for the project.
I turned to Mike Philips at Autogeek/Marine 31 to guide to me a pad to fit my old Wen 7" Rotary. This thing is an oldie but still works. Oh and I've never used a rotary either or wool pads. Soo first time boat, first time alumnuim polishing, first time wool pad and first time rotary use.
We found such pad.
Understand also I'm not polishing everything like crazy, mostly removing the top oxidation.
Now I haven't used everything in the list below yet, since boat isn't even close to being done. Just listing what I will use.
Products used:
Lake Country Mfg 8.5 inch 4 Ply 100% Twisted Wool Compounding Pad
Marine 31 Finish Cut Metal Restoring Polish
Meguiar's APC+
Bissell Shampooer with cleaner
Meguiar's Tire Gel
Meguiar's Ultimate Polish on the motor housing with hand applicator
Meguiar's NXT on the Motor Housing with hand applicator
Here is just a few pictures of the boat itself and a couple photos of some metal polishing
