Removing oxidation?
 
Whats the best process to remove oxidation. Starting with the wax(brand) then the application and finally the buff. It's not a bad oxidation. Just so many chemicals to pick from, and weather the use of a buffer or just plain elbow grease will do the trick. I dont think its ready for rubbing compound. Tried the Mothers Carnuba cleaner wax, did ok but it wasn't the finish I was looking for. I used only elbow grease to remove. How important is a orbital buffer.

PM me a phone number, so we can go over options and the current condition of the boat.

Use Donnie's oxidation remover. Follow up with leverage polish.

When I bought my donzi in May it had some oxidation only near the transom and the sides towards the rear. I bought a cheap rotary buffer from northern tool and some wool buffing pads online. I used the 3 step oxidation kit from McGuiars. I thought the boat looked good before, afterwards my wife even noticed the difference. There are tons of different products out there. I just went with Mcguiars because I was familiar with them from waxing my truck and car. Also dont be affraid of the rotary buffer on gelcoat. I was at first but keep it moving and you'll be fine, don't let it get hot.

Here's a few links.

Every boat we touch is a different situation, so that's why a phone call might save some typing time. :D

Forget that stuff that Mexiclean the snake oil salesman sells. Use ATF it works the best and makes the boat repell water.... :D:D

Unfortunately it is not looking so good again this year. Business is slow and a few jobs that I am waiting on to start have been delayed and delayed. So I am cutting back on spending just to get through..... Ya never know but since I do not have a flight now I am guessing...... :(
