Then this with a wool pad
Then this with a foam pad
Then a good coat of wax
I think I will finish off all of the rigging first, then worry about the shine a luster she needs
Rigging as in all your hardware and stuff? If so...now is the best time to do it so you don't have to tape off or work around all that shit.
I'd finish the wet sand with 2000 grit if it were me
Which 10'r are you doing this to Andrew? The one you just had done or the red one you had before? The red one you had before is paint.
As
RB... send it to Hook...done
He's affordable. I'm sure you'll be happy. Color sand, buff and interior. You'll be good to goI doubt he's offering to do it free.
I think it's going to take a wet sand and buff to bring it back. It's going to be a solid weekend worth of work.
Complete pain in the ass for you're first time and probably cheaper to pay someone to do it unless you have the supplies and equipment to do it.

Yeah...it's not like the boys....(father/son project...my ass)...want to do it for free...
What Bilgie said :thumbup:
But 3M has new products. Use the new compound that Rivergames listed.(3M Marine Rubbing Compound) Then buff it with Finesse II polish
Wool pad for compound then 3M foam pad for polish.
Try a small section first to see if comes back with compound. If not may have to do wet sand
you need a circular buffer
I have a few spots I need to lightly sand out with rubbing compound. I have 1000 wet sand paper that is working but leaving the gel a matte finish after I wipe the compound off. What steps do I need to do to make the gel look good? View attachment 396520

looks like you sanded through the gel????reds gonna be tough to bring back...
Rivergames, after 2000 grit sanding you can use our "Supreme 4" compound, follow with our "Ultimate Polish" and then seal or wax or both. We have an awesome sealant called "FMJ" (Full Metal Jacket) you can add our "Super Wet" Carnauba Cream Wax for extra depth and luster. Feel free to give us a call if you need any questions answered.

I did. A search and couldn't come up with much. So figured this was the thread that I would bump back up.
I'm going to clean up the schiada a bit. The gel is not horrible. But on the same token. It's far from nice.
I figured I would buff the boat to bring back some shine. It has chips scratches and stress cracks so I'm not looking to make it look new, just looking to make it look better and not so much like a beater.
Never done a buff before and watched 2 forcefulls video already. So figured I would tackle it with the kids as a sort of father son project.
So heres my questions.
1) what products should I use?
2) what's the process?
3) I know color sanding is the way to go. But if I skip the color sanding and just do the compounding then polish and wax steps. Am I wasting my time?
4) any tips?
Here's what I'm staring with...

Riverbound, the correct steps to take would be to wet sand (if you can) you may need to start as low as 800 grit then 1000, 1200, 1500 and 2000. if you want to skip wet sanding it is possible to get great shine but it will not last as long, which you may be ok with, if you don't want all that labor that comes with it. we have a few options for you that we can discuss Give us a call and we will be glad to offer any help.

I have been using Lucas oil slick mist products to maintain the shine and have to say it's holding up very well.
