polished my props!

[not enuf toys]

Wanted to bring some life (appearance) back into my two ss props. One is a couple year old high five that I bought this year and the other is a rapture that is at least 8 years old and looks like may have been repaired (came with the boat)

Both were in great shape (no dents or dings) but looked very dull over the years...especially the rapture.

Little bit of rogue and a fabric buffing wheel and presto! Mirror finish is back!

Makes me gitty

I've heard that if you put a coat of bees wax on them and polish it off, they'll stay shiny a little longer. The last thing I did after I got all hooked up was to polish the prop. God forbid some one see my boat with a grundged up prop.. LOL.. They look so cool all shined up!

Yup! Little typo here and there....


Its a buffing compound for metal. I used a grey one for a heavy cut

I prefer the "satin" finish on my SS props. That's really easy to get when you run through sand. :-(

If you want to see something really eye catching, polish bronze props. You can light a fire off reflected sunlight. This one is after running for a while.
