Cover ups include low grade Carnauba & Petroleum Distillates that we've discussed in these threads before. It's a temporary shine that dosen't last and makes it worse on you in the next few months. Please start with Buffing & the Oxidation Remover then Polish unless you're very chalky then contact me. I go for a true shine not a cover up. Remove the Oxidation/Fading first then follow up with the Final Shine and UV Protection.

I don't just manufacture my own products, but I also use them in my Marine Clean business. I averaged over 900ft of fiberglass every week this month, so I want you to be assured that I speak from experience.

Donnie
Is there a way I could speak with someone about the issue I have?

Hey coolhand...my name is matt. i work for donnie and tasha. were on our way to Boyne City for a poker run, and family reunion. he wanted me to get on here to check on things and i told him your problem.

Winter time is upon us, so I figured a good buffing thread was in order.

Thanks for the PM Donnie. I'm putting my order in today for OR and polish/sealant. You also swayed me away from spending more $ on a porter cable polisher.

I've got the harborfreight buffer and wool pads. If I read correctly I buff with the wool pad and polish with a towel. Correct? Do I need any foam pads? No waxing just polish, right?
My transom is really chalky and slightly stained. The 7" buffing pad is hard to get into some placed on the transom. Can I apply OR by hand or will I not get the same results?
If I buff the bottom of my hull should I polish and wax it or will the polish be enough protection to help prevent staining?

I use Wool only, foam is not needed. Polish by hand only. No other waxes needed.

I do my best to fit the buffer around the transom, but then do everything else by hand and then Polish.

Just Polish after you buff the bottom.

We just got to Louisville from Miami and getting ready to setup. I'll be checking the board in the evenings. Please let me know if this answers everything.

Will I really be able to remove oxidation from the transom by hand with OR? I've never seen anything that will even come close to that by hand before.
