This took 27 hours, it was pretty hammered and heavly oxidized. Used a few different compunds and SiP with my dewalt rotary and GG d/a. It was washed via foam cannon and wash mitts.



The gel coat was reall beat up.

Letting the boat dwell in some foam to loosen up all the dirt and grime.

Let me know what you guys thinks, Any questions i will answer also
 
I feel your pain. I'm 12 hours into a 16 hour boat job and I don't think I could go another 10! Looks great.
 
Had to use a few different kind of wool pads, including the purple foam wool. So areas just did not want to correct. For polishing I used the hydro tech blue pad. This removed 90% of the swirls and brought out alOt of depth and clarity to the gel coat.
 
Boat came up looking awesome mate! just wondering though how come it took soo long to do, that seems an extreme amount of hours for that size boat? not criticizing the way you work or anything, just wondering.
 
The entire boat was compunded then polished out, the chrome polishing. It just never seemed to end. The gel coat in a few spots took 3+ section passes to remove the oxidation.



For time, it was what it was. The owner was very pleased. I will now be washing this boat monthly along with waxing it.
 
If you were closer, I would with out a doubt. Next week i have a 20 foot that could be in worse shap than this one. The 20 footer is getting a 3 step correction plus the complete interior.



I will also be trying out some new products and giving autopia a nice review.





Thanks for the good words also
