boat hull cleaning and polishing

[rbigg]

Got a long neglected white, fiberglass boat hull I want to get looking nice.<br />I don't have the physical stamina and endurance to do much in the way of<br />physical labor. But, I do have a good electric buffer and lots of chamois<br />pads.<br /><br />Is there any kind of gunk I can put on a buffer pad and let the buffer get<br />it cleaned up?<br /><br />There are several good polishes that will finish the job that I can dry<br />buff, once I rub them on.<br /><br />But, I need something to substitute for main strength and awkwardness in<br />getting the hull clean to the point I can then polish/wax it.

if it's oxidized i would say a good rubbing compound, works good with a buffer just be carefull not to burn the surface, just like buffing out a car except if you buff through the gel coat on the hull your boats done anyway. Just a thought, on mine i used gojo first that will cut the film, let it dry then you can tell if you need to buff it before waxing. Hope this helps.

if you have dirt and crud on the hull, i suggest using on/off first. no scrubbing needed, just spray on and watch it work. be careful when using it, gloves, goggles, and stay upwind of the spray.
