I have that same stuff works good.

OC,

I got mine from Amazon. Someone (I think Wally) mentioned in another thread getting it from Menard's.

Thanks. Brad.

yep, Amazon. I ordered the package deal with the metal polish, ceramic spray wax, applicators and two types of cloth towels.

Thanks guys!

White Diamond is excellent stuff. I got it at Autozone,

Looks awesome!!!

I found some at Menards 15-16 bucks + 11% gotcha rebate!

White Diamond has been my go to for years, I guess my secret is out on how I keep my stuff shining.. lol

Yup. I spent some time today scrubbing the baked-on carbon/soot from my exhaust tips. I had to use ScotchBrite to get the carbon off to begin with, which dulled them significantly. I tried using some rubbing and polishing compound (I had TurtleWax on hand), but it was just smearing and didn’t do much to clean up the microscratches. I need to go back with some decent rubbing and polishing compound, but I decided to give the WhiteDiamond a crack at it….

They didn’t come out as well as your props did, but they are far better than they were after the ScotchBrite, and a far cry better than they were all black from soot.

Thanks. Brad.

Looks good Brad. I use the BioKleen hull and aluminum cleaner to get the hazy soot and "fog" off of all things polished at the transom. Havasu water is super hard so even the props get foggy. Spray that stuff on, rinse off and all the fog disappears. Then follow up with a polish.

Little ZipZap Power love.

Go time!

What are you filling up with?

AVGAS 100LL

MIX 50/50 91 & 100LL



Put the kid to work today. I’m lucky he loves boats as much as I do. He didn’t whole trailer and then polished the motors!

Little Tank Boat Bling... LLC. Might as well start it now and make some gas money doing it!

Love the tags on the shafts. I’m probably going to copy you lol. But do you have enough thread on there that the nuts wont work themselves off during travel? Only reason I bring it up is because one time I forgot to zip them on a bit with the impact after removing props, next time we were at marina and I’m putting props back on they were hanging on by a thread.

Would’ve been one hell of a day ruined, because I didn’t have one f’n nut. We probably trailer further than you though.

Looking killer Tank!!! Better bring that out next year for cig run

yeah, they’re fine. I hand tightened them but the zip ties push the bit back but they’re tighter sure. I suppose when we run to havasu I’ll tighten them more.

I don’t know about next year but year after that we may just bring the boat out for the whole summer. I’ll be retired and will have time.


we ran the boat in the big blue today. Took my kids friends out for a run since he worked so hard cleaning and polishing yesterday. In the afternoon took my 80 year old neighbor out that always drops not so subtle hints he wants to run. Old school hot rod and Harley guy. He had a blast. It was pretty rough though. We were airing it out quite a bit. Overall, great day. All cleaned up and tucked away.

that sportfish is sweet, I'm looking at a 68 for next year.

yeah. That Viking is GAAAAAAAANGSTER!
had to be 90’ so sick.

that’s a long boat ride from New Gretna to the Left coast :0

sh*t, not in that thing! I’d take that run all day. Through the Panama Canal…would be a blast.

Late start today but got the boat topped off and prepped for a little ocean runnin next couple days. Slap
props on and put plugs in and we gone!

That's a machine. I love those monster exhaust.. They come out the transom as 6" don't they?

Run safe and enjoy the cruise!

Thanks! yeah. I’d say about that lol.

Looking awesome Tank!

Was a great day!!

there was a band on a boat in the bay out in front of our house so hung out and floated around and the. Blasted about here and there. Little small white caps about a 10 mph breeze, baby white caps and 2’ swell. Got er aired out a few times.

Boat looks amazing ! That boat has a high X-dimension, no ? Man it doesn't seem take much to cherp those props ! Sounds great too ....

Thanks brother! I don’t think the x is abnormally high. The water was actually rougher than it looked and we were going straight into the swell when my kid took that video. I even had the drives tucked in and running some tab as well. We were only doing like 65 but I think The water was deceiving for sure.

Good day on nacimiento. Water was 70. Weather was 84. Not too many boats but a few. Bonzi run up and back. 3 hours up. 4 hours there 3.5 hours back. Took my two boys and two of their friends. Little daycation. https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/a...e/64/1f601.png

I'm jealous. Looks like a great time.

it was a good day. Today? They wash and wax the boat before we put it away. 😂

Time for wax. Transom and drives done. Did the oval trying out this wax I had. Stuff’s pretty bomb. Mirror finish on the red transom.

Looks good Tank.....I tried a ceramic spray on wax worked pretty well on Speedy also but it on the HD

I like the spray on RX Shine stuff Kevin at Hardline Products sells. For a quick wipe. But for a real wax you just gotta go old school and put the elbow grease in. This is the stuff I used today. I like it. Easy on. Easy off. Slick mirror finish.

My 15 year old and his friends are gettin after it!

Think I found the perfect game plan. Take the kids for a run and have them detail it. Done!
