Glassdave how does the Vitero compare to Leverage? Is it easy to use? Thanks for your input!

I am wondering what quantities of the trio I should order for my 24' Celebrity, moderately oxidized ???

Ok, did the whole boat, hit with the vibra 1st, wash. Hit it with Totally Buff, wash and then Vitreo.
Here's my assessment. If I had a boat with a serious oxidation, I would be eager to use these products. Vibra cut is somewhat easy to use, you get a huge amount with your order. I found it mucked up and gelled-up my pads pretty good after being very conscious about using too much. I didn't find it hard to work with, but it wasn't easy either. Totally Buff, reminds a lot of leverage oxidation remover. Dries quickly so best use it in small quick areas. Again, same Vibra Cut, not hard but not easy. Vitreo, very easy to work with, I did the whole boat including my transom were waxes, polishers, and polymers are put to the test. The shine is very compatible with all the top brands, but what I'm looking for is shine and the ability to shred soot off the transom. Well it didn't do to well in that area, I had to really get going with the white Lightning cleaning spray to get it off. As stated above, if I a boat with bad oxidation I would gowith the FOY line, but my boat is really great shape so I'm going to stick with my Auto Magic 3 part system to keep up my boat and my homemade mix as protection. 1st Cut XP http://www.automagic.com/cart/87.htm 2ND CUT BC-1 http://www.automagic.com/cart/77.htm Final BC-2 http://www.automagic.com/cart/78.htm With the mix, the soot just comes off with just a swipe of a paper towel. http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/g...ndy-wax-2.html These products work best for ME and my boat, but they are so cheap enough, super easy to use, and the results are great. Good luck folks! I love trying to new products, so if y'all get one to share post it in this section. |

Hey Glassdave,
Have not heard of Vibra Cut in Texas. But is sure looks like it gets great results. I have a paste compound called Hula CP Compound and I am attaching a couple of pics I got from detailers using it in my area. Would love to send you a sample and get your feedback on it :) http://www.hulaboatcare.com/images/F...0June%201A.jpg http://www.hulaboatcare.com/images/F...2021%20AM.jpeg |

Now that its been three weeks and applied my second strip using vibra cut I'll give my assessment. The cut did ok the first time. I already had excellent results before using it, so you couldnt tell much of a difference. Now after some use during the summer I tried it again. I have to say I wont be using it again. It just doesn't do anything for me. Doesn't remove 1000 grit scratches, doesn't bring shine back that much any more than leverage (which didnt do a fantastic job either). The wax lasted all of 6 days with salt water use. Leverage did better, lasting all of two weeks. I'll be trying collonite 345 since the boats already stripped using vibra cut. Next time I'll be using 3m 64 to really get some of the little imperfections out. Only products I'd buy would be the wash, which leaves no water marks and the interior products. NEXT.

MC240 are you using wool or foam with Vibra? I dont have any trouble getting 1000 grit marks out at all. If your boat already has a decent shine you might be better with Totally Buff, Vibra is coarse and needs a follow up after deep cutting.

Very impressed with their whole product line. May have to add them to my detailing operation. ;)
