I know I'm getting flamed for that pic :lol





Next up, Craigster's Azure Blue Mach 1 :drool



Great shape would be an understatement. I always enjoy heading to Craigs. I may work dead slow because we are chatting the entire time, but everything is always great there :clap: . Anyways,



-TOL's Bubbling Suds Wash

-No Clay needed

-Menzerna Final Polish II via rotary and LC Finishing Pad @ 1200 rpm (x2 in some areas)

Now to the Boston Whaler...





This belongs to one of my most frequent customers. He only wanted the paint polished and brightwork done from the rub rail on up. He has really lost the time to detail unfortunatley. I ended up finding some Zymol Carbon, a bunch of Griot's Products, Collonite, etc in his arsenal. This guy is pretty serious. He didn't want me to wheel it out, so all by hand...



-TOL's Bubbling Suds Wash mixed with some Optimum APC (to remove heavy deposits)

-Collonite Metal Wax on ALL brightwork (user supplied...loved this stuff BTW...gives Flitz a run for its money)

-Klasse AIO on all smooth fiberglass by hand

-Collonite Fleetwax by hand on everything (user supplied)

-Poorboy's Trim Restorer on rub rail
