Always try buffing first. You can use my Oxidation Remover. It's always hard to say over the forum with pictures, but 90% of the time buffing will take care of your problems. Check out my buffing 101 thread. I've detailed everything step-by-step.

Donnie, I have used your product and love the polish. last year I used your compound and came out fine but started to get chalky mid season. I used a foam pad with the buffer should I try a wool pad?

My Formula is only 23 years young so I can`t expect it to look like a 2010.

Any help is great.

Wool is the way for oxidation Mark!
Thanks for the reply and support.

It all depends on your current reflection. I make Polish and I also make Oxidation Remover which is a buffing compund. If the reflection is clear then Polish only. If it's hazy then I would recommend buffing first.

You can use the Polish frequently if you want, but I made it more of a once or twice per year then maintain with fresh water inbetween.

Hey ... I have a 94 Fountain 24CS ... all red exterior and interior.

I used Leverage Polish on the gel two weeks ago and looks great. Reality is I need to wet sand and buff to get it perfect but no one believes this boat is 16 years old as is.

I used Leverage Vinyl Cleaner and Vinyl Protector products last weekend. Wow. My wife was on me to have the interior replaced when I bought the boat. Now she says it looks like new. For the vinyl, I washed with water and Simple Green to get the major dust/dirt/grease off, then used the Leverage Cleaner with the Leverage scrubbing pad, then two coats of the Levearge Vinyl Conditioner. Results are outstanding. The cleaner goes a long way ... probably do my boat 3 times with a bottle. The conditioner goes faster ... need most of a bottle for two applications.

Can't wait to try wetsanding and the Leverage OR.

Only problem I have is the boat is so slick now I'm worried about slipping off and the cover is a whole lot harder to get on (comes off great though )

Thanks Donnie ... great products.

Hey guys, I'm a big fan of leverage wax..... but that interior cleaner and conditioner is CRAP. Did not take ONE mark out of my interior, by far the biggest waste of money I've spent. Should of just used a water rag.
