A painted boat with clear is just like a car. The clear gets bombarded with contaminants and gets swirl marks. No different than a car that needs paint restoration to restore the finish, remove swirl marks, and protect it from the elements. In short, there is a process that needs to be followed and there are a ton of great POLYMER products on the market. Here is what I bought and used. I was blown away with the quality, ease of application, and end result. Before anything, I clayed the entire boat from the chine to the deck. Yes, it took a long time. But now that it is done I'll be maintaining it and not having to go through the entire process in the spring. http://www.autogeek.net/wolfgang-swirl-kit.html Collinite 845 is a great sealant. I was going to use it after I used the Wolfgang sealant as that is a process many use. Some people apply two coats of the Wolfgang sealant. I ended up only needing one and I was done but I do have a bottle of 845 on the shelf if I decide to give it a try. |

Another thing. With the higher end polisher/sander variable speed tools won't work well with consumer products. |
Precision, I looked at your site. So what do you recommend for a painted boat (Spies Hecker paint)?

There are different factors in all 3 products. Bead Maker- easy to use spray on wipe off but to use properly it's a full spray coating not just a mist and wipe cleaner like paint gloss would be. This is actually a sealer product and is a hydrophobic coating. The way it works is after you spray on and wipe off, in about 1-2 hours it sets up and hardens. Paint Gloss- used the same way as Bead Maker but it's still like your classic showroom shine detail spray. Used for up keep, it has polymiers but is not a "coating" like bead maker. Challenger Wax- is the synthetic sealer that is going to hold up long term in the marine environment which is way different then cars of course. Now I have tested Driven side by side with this stuff and I used to always use driven but now I have financial interest in P&S. Lol... By all means Driven is still awesome, I did say hold up the same. I will tell you the unique difference tho- Driven is easier to use when in sun and warm weather, but Challenger somehow someway is eaier to use when it's cold like most waxes. Anyone that has seen Fred with Drivens demo he does make an incredibly good product for the sun and heat. But for some reason when it's winter or chilly it cakes up pretty bad. Hope this all helps you guys. I'm not just trying to boast my product but also want to help you all understand the variables as well. |
This is where Totally Buff, Vitreo, and covered storage has gotten my gelcoat:
http://i1342.photobucket.com/albums/...psbjlhl7qg.jpg I usually 2 bucket wash everything. Still want to keep swirls to a minimum, so which polish do you recommend From P&S? Ultracoat or Challenger Wax for the truck AND boat as a sealer? I've been happy with Vitreo on the truck, boat, and bike, but I'm open to suggestions. |

Polish- ultra coat polish/full throttle Wax- Challenger Cars and clear coat- ultra coat paint sealant Boats sealer is the challenger cause of the marine environment weather clear or gel |
Maybe you answered this already, but what do you recommend for gel surfaces, as the website only talks paint?:readinghelp:

Chad, the Skater needs a complete setup after sitting on Ron's lift for 3 months before I bought it.
Can you give me the full breakdown of what I need? What do you think is best to put on the transom and how much? Remember, it has about 3 gazillion colors. LOL |

LOL Exterior- Challenger wax Paint Gloss Bead Maker Interior- Xpress interior cleaner Natural finish dressing/conditioner You can call me if you would like I know you have my number. Lol Get some insanity towels too, they are amazing, then get some Costco microfiber a to do all the dirty work. |
Ok I've got a question. What can you put on the deck to protect and shine without creating a death trap. I waxed my sides before Key West last year with some spray on wipe off wax from my car Detailer which worked fine. Only problem was the mist over spray on the deck made it slicker than Owl S#*+. I like to have killed myself and any one who dared to walk on it that week.

Precision, Do they typically go on in that order on the exterior?

How about that material they sell for toolbox liners. Comes in 10 or 15 foot rolls . Its really clingy, but a rubber or latex that shouldn't mar the finish.

How about water beading on the deck of the boat in the shape of the skater logo? Ceramic Pro coating. Water beads pretty good on it. And they tell me I will never have to wax it. Just water hose off anything that is on it (scum line, spider dots, salt water spots, ect.).
https://youtu.be/Rv57cRMdBKw [ATTACH=CONFIG]560410[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]560411[/ATTACH] |
Nonskid in some areas make a lot of sense.
|
How about a pair of dedicated deck shoes that dont leave the boat . Slip on off and ready for the next go around.
|
IMHO: Dry bare feet get the best grip...outside of non skid.
|
Yes I'm a bare feet only guy. Problem arises when jumping upon the deck to tie off if it's wet or boarding and disembarking passengers. Also when hosing it down your feet are always wet and you down dare use a soap or Salt-a-way. I have not waxed the deck only the sides since I painted it. I use a spray on UV protectant on the deck and upholstery which really make it shine but is not slippery.
I would love to find a wax to put on the deck for more protection that will not make it slippery. |
:DHmmmm, non slip wax, mustache wax maybe. Bikini wax! Your best bet are some hockey pads.
|
^^^^^^^^^^ Judging by these facetious claims, use of a respirator is recommended during application to avoid "lightheadedness"... Not to mention he hasn't had any kids since he started using it....coincidence? I think not.
|
Is that aluminum on that grinding wheel. Bad dog no biscuits for you!
great pics though, thanks. None on the props, lol |
Ahh yes I did forget the props.
With Nu Finish you will not need to add any extra cup to your props any longer, those days are over. http://33outlaw.zenfolio.com/img/s/v...74753648-3.jpg |

As for the 2nd question- you can use bead maker as a wipe down spray. I use paint gloss for quick wipe downs cause the point of the product is you don't need to really coat your surface. The bead maker is a spray on wipe off protectant. So you really want to coat it on. The way it works is after you wipe it off, in about an hour it sets up and hardens. It is hydrophobic so it does not like water. Thus the name bead maker. Bead Maker is on our front page Paint Gloss part # C5001 for a gallon We also have the spray bottles to go with all our products. |
How does bead maker compare to chemical guys V7. Been using that for years with great results. Willing to give anything a try once.

I wish I could give an honest answer to that. But I've never tried their product. How does it work? What is its purpose? |
