Hi all
I'm in my way to complete 2 repairs on my '87 H16 (small hole).

As I want to clean the entire hull (white), I would like to know your best tips and product to use to give my hull their young age nice looking profile !

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

good evening,

Rubbing compound used by automobile painters works great (I get mine at great west auto), it is cheap and can take the oxidation of anything and when buffed and waxed it looks new.

If you have an electrical buffer, use Barkeepers Friend. It comes out immaculate white and then wax and go. It will last the entire season and resist picking up the yellow crud. Great system.

I am going to try the Surf City Cat method on both my cats 21SE and 14 turbo I am going to try wax on one and a product called POLY GLOW on the other and see which one works best
