Old boats can look as good as the work you put into them, When I bought mine it was in a bit of a state, the gelcoat looked like it had been left in a field for a couple of years or sprayed with matt paint, I was given some advice last year about bringing the gelcoat back to gleaming condition by using some Aquabuff rubbing compound & using a good industrial type, variable speed polisher, So I set about buying the polisher & two tubs of Aquabuff, a 1000 grade & a 2000 grade. Over this weekend I set about doing something about my dull gelcoat & out came the gear, firstly I set about polishing the whole boat with the 1000 grade aquabuff & found that with very little work the gelcoat came up mirrorlike fashion, I was well pleased, after that I changed the lambs wool pad on the polisher for a clean one & went over the boat again with the 2000 grade & what a difference!! It looks fantastic, I thought it would be one hell of a job to get the boat looking a bit better but the Aquabuff proved to be very easy to use & did a fantastic job. I would certainly recomend Aquabuff to others whos boats are looking a bit tired & dull, it really is worth the effort & adds a bit of value to your boat.
