Default Vibra Cut






I just had to share this with you guys. Got an 88 Checkmate Convincor in for a buff job and it was the worst colors to have. Black and red and although the boat is well kept time had taken its toll on the gel as i dont think it has had any attention in some time.


heres some before . . . . . .

Not sure about a specific size section but that boat took every bit of almost two or three days to do, i would guess in the twelve to fifteen hour range start to finish done in stages with multiple washings and dryings. With something this heavily oxidized i went at if with a new fresh wool pad and the VibraCut when that step was done as far as it would go i washed the entire thing with soapy water and let dry overnight. Next step was to hit it with Totally Buff with another fresh wool pad. Wash/dry again then waxed it with Vitreo the next day. Its also to do it in the shade on a cool day if you can.

no but at the present i stock it for my customers and toss it in with paint jobs i also sell a bit to my friends around the marina. i would like to be a distributor but its tough to balance running my shop and getting out in the field to demo. You can get the stuff on line though if ya need some. To be honest, you guys all know how i am about sharing information in the tech section here, i really just like this stuff and it has really simplified my process of detailing and bringing back a gloss. When something works this well (see above ) i gotta tell /show the masses I know i probably sound like a commercial sometimes but i have no connection other then i buy products at the moment. When i did this boat it really tested the limits of what is savable and i was pretty tickled when i stepped back.



If the mods or anyone else feels this is to close to spamming i understand and have no problem toning it down a bit but in the past i have always been pretty liberal with sharing good product info.
