    Cut, buff, wax.

    Where did you get it done in SC? I have a 2000 192 Grady and just got a quote for $1400 to detail it. Seems high to me....but I've heard they do a great job. I am thinking about doing it myself, have a Porter-Cable buffer and time....but don't really know the right way to do it.

    Gas Gauge wont power up
