I am fairly comfortable using a DA on my truck and car, despite their being black LOL Not that I haven't caused some holograms, but I have also gotten rid of them, for a while.... but that is another thread and forum.
However, I have yet to get the courage to tackle polishing and waxing my boat using the DA due to the relatively "soft" nature of gel coat relative to auto clear coat.
Can anyone here please give me the run down on the differences in how one goes about polishing and waxing gel coat as compared to clear coat? Are the hazards actually less as there is more "workable material" in gel coat? Are holograms a clear coat phenomenon? ( I DON'T want to find out the wrong way!)
The boat is garage kept, 5 years old, and maybe only 50-60 full days of sun exposure, has been washed by hand a few dozen times, but has been hand waxed only twice. The gel is in good condition still- no oxidation yet, but I'm beginning to think that I need to get more proactive about protection.
Any advice will be surely appreciated. I do have a Meguairs DA, several 2.0 finishing pads and a couple 2.0 polishing pads, Meguairs #45 polish and half a bottle of #56 wax.
Thanks in advance!
