boat finish

[peter]

When I bought my boat, the old owners didn't have a cover that fit over the whole boat. The stern of the does not shine like the rest. I tried some of the wax that wal-mart sells, but no sucess. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

I just used this on my aluminum boat that was in really bad shape. I was actually going to paint it but this stuff worked so well that now I don't need to paint. Turtle Wax product called color restore available at Pep Boys. Don't know about fiberglass. If you want some expert advice go out to Mirror Glaze on Preston Hwy., Louisville and try one of their products. The guy has been selling this stuff for years. Should be a real easy project. You don't need a buffer. These products can be used by hand. Have a lot of teri cloth towles on hand to wipe it off with and apply. You want to keep using a clean part of the towel to keep from smearing the sluge around. Wipe some and fold the towl, wipe and fold.

After you get looking the way you want you need to seal or wax it. From what I have heard the synthetic sealers last longer. Mirror glaze has those too. If you have an expensive boat I would haul it our to Mirror Glaze and show the guy what you want to do. Easy stuff but you can waste a lot of time and muscle doing something not quite right.

Good Luck.
