this is a copy of a replie i made to another post asking how to get the shine back in your boat... well i listened to EVERYbodby b1tching and wining "my way is the best" "no, my way is the best" well i tried em all and this is what i got.....and i qoute"
wet sand , wet sand, wet sand , wet sand... look at my pic, i wet sanded with 600 grit 3m paper, and then used the 3m fiberglass restore & wax, and THEN used starbrights boat fiberglass wax... ill let you guess which is before, and wich is after, and by the way, my boat is a 1960 glasspar, had been sitting outside, in florda for 18years uncovered

Wow. Awesome job. <br />If you can get that boat to shine that well, I should have no problems. <br />Hmm..Wet sanding works.<br />And I too am a long time user of the sock buffer.<br />My girlfriend is always trying to throw out my old socks, I always say "No. I need them" but never explain why. Keeps 'em guessing.
