Ummmm no Wes, Sophie the supervisor is clearly visable in the first picture sitting in the middle of the lawn. Those beach towels are working great for drying off from diving and wiping down vehicles after washing
Walt, you do not want to know what that service would cost! I perfromed a major service to the boat and fixed everything we could find wrong including repairing parts of the trailer. It also reminded me of why I sold my boat; unfortunately I ride with Wes all the time, and treat his boat as my own
"if you ever get boarded my the po po??????"
"but no empty beer cans all over the ground" This is what keeps us from not being boarded by the po po. In over 13 years of going to the Delta I have never been boarded or written a ticket.
As to buffing a black boat, well if you have never done a boat or car before I would say leave it to a pro. It takes a lot of finesse to not screw it up. Let alone the fact that it took over 5 hours and that was husling. I was super worried at first about swirl marks. I even started with a 3m Perfect it 2 machine glaze and it did not cut the water spots or scratches enough, so I switched to Perfect it 3 rubbing compound. I did not use an orbital, but it turned out just fine. My sander/polisher is rated minimum 1500, then I slow it down more with a speed control by HF, dropping it to around 1200 or so. Light pressure and keeping the gel coat cool seemed to work well. I also keep the pad clean, and use a lot of rubbing compound, but not so much it over sprays. How to buff is an article in itself. I learned more than a few tricks on my own boat but my friends in the autobody industry have shared a lot of info on how to do these types of things. Maybe someone in the detail industry could write an article?
So Wes did I tell you I got home at 12:40 am and had a 7:00 am webex? Guess what? My computer did not have the necessary software LOL I am still loading the software for the programs I need tomorrow morning.
