Buffing, againnnn

[Tucker]

My boat was not very well maintain and not covered by original owner. Console badly chalked. Not enough room to swing the 8" hull buffer. That Porter Cable will help some and I think I'm going to buy one. That still will not get around the wheel, gauges etc. I compunded some by hand this weekend and it looks real uneven. Is there such a thing as a detail buffer something like those triangular detail sanders? What a PIA.

There is indeed a detail buffer. It requires a compressor as it is pneumatic though. I used one a few weeks ago. It uses about a 3 inch 3M pad and works awesome.

Here is link to something similar to what I used.

Mine was not waxed often enough either. I wet sanded the entire thing with two grains, and then compounded it. The rep on the grady cream is that it is splotchy if not very well maintained. Two coats of wetsand, compound and wax and she shines like 'almost' brand new. Looks fantastic.
