So here is the boat just after the wash and before any buffing.
I am using these two products Steve recommended
And then also this to finish it.
So I wash the boat then start with the heavy compound with my dual action polisher. I started on the left lower side of the boat. Obviously the blue comes off on the pad as it is lightly oxidized. As I go into the white the blue follows. Figure no big deal the blue it will come out and it did a little bit.
Then I wash the pad and try again on just the white. It takes some off but not all of it. And this only happened on certain areas of the white section. It seems to be a little more sun damaged then the blue. It’s not checked or cracked but almost porous and rough. I’m not sure If maybe the blue is coming though from under the white. My last test is I am going to wet sand a small area with 2000 and see if it will come out.
I was thinking to myself well after all the boat 45 years old. At least the blue is coming back very nicely. And unless you get up real close your can’t really see the blue in the white.
Has anyone else ran into this issue??
I’ll try and post a couple close up pics tomorrow.
