Wax and Buff Pro's

I am going to have the boat professionally waxed and buffed next season. Got any recommendations?? With a Bow to Stern measurement of about 25', what would a rough estimate be?.

Me!

It'd be no problem...SJ and I could show you how it's done. My shop is about 3 miles from your house, 164th Place and 104th Ave., right down the street from the Orland firefighter training facility. All you'd need to do is buy the compounds and wax...Brian would know the exact stuff. It'll take some time, but we could bang it out in an afternoon for sure. I do my boat every other year...cut it down, glaze it, then put a base coat of pure carnuba wax followed by a finish coat of Meguiar's Ultra boat polish. She shines pretty good for an older boat. Drop me a pm or email me: mike@diagrind.com
