Hi All,
I've been detailing cars for abut the last 20yrs with my Porter-Cable G100. I recently converted it to the Soft-Buff 2.0. Familiar with #1, #7, #9, #16 etc.
My father-in-law just picked up a new boat (2008 Four Winn) with only 90hrs. The fiberglass is a light beige with some decals I think (checking tonight). I'm planning to DA the light oxidation and water spots off the hull. Looking for some input:
1. Boat Wash? Is this necessary or can I just use my regular Meguiars car wash soap? I assume it is made for washing in the water.
2. Cleaning, how much cutting does the M44 actually do? The oxidation/water line is light on this boat and I see some light swirl marks. I was going to use this with a W7207 Cutting pad. Will that be too harsh on any decals? My other option was to go up to the M49.
3. Waxing, since it is a light color, I was going to skip the polish and just go with M56 pure wax and apply with an W9207 Finishing pad. I'm also planning to apply this to the interior gel coat as it isn't very oxidized.
Anyone see any issues with my plan?
