That Fire bird looks great!!

Tell me what does the foam pads really do?

I don't use my wheels that much.

Well the Oxidation Hell boat is done !!

13 days straight! I cowboy-ed up & kept burning away at it .

It such a nice feeling not to have to go back there.

The Customer said on a scale of 1 to 10 it came out to be a 9.5 .

Me? maybe 8.5 to 9.

Now its up to him to get me some more work,

I hope they are not as bad.

I will make surew I never do this again.


I have a Bob tail Harley to do on Tuesday the paint is nice but the bright work is tough..

Thanks to everyone for the support & product suggestion I look forward to trying them all.

There are all differant grades of foam pads. Some for cutting, polishing, final finish, and in between. Just me personally, I'm not big into compounding with a foam pad. I prefer to use wool with compound then follow up with polish and usually blue foam. If its a dark color ill go back with a glaze and a finishing pad to ensure the swirls are gone. There are plenty of folks who only use foam and achieve amazing results. I guess its all about personal preference. Reguardless, if you do any correction jobs these days foam pads are a must.

PB PwC is a great product but not one I would start with on a heavily oxidized boat.
Try Four Stars Cut and Polish to start if its still to oxidized for that then use their Heavy Cut compound next time. And I highly recommend their Aggressor 7.5 Inch Gelcoat Cutting Pad. Its a wool pad and works great.
Remember clear coat is no where near as thick or strong as gelcoat. You can treat a boat like a car.

pro wax i experiences in with as well i would use the ultimate cut or use 3M Perfect It, then use the RV Boat and Aircraft wax they carry. also Meguiars carry a nice rv,boat wax works better then pro. i have been finding myself growing out of pro products.

Old thread I see, but I remember back in the early '90's seeing the guys at the Stratos boat plant in Nashville take on an older bass boat that looked like Mr Death reincarnated.

They used a slow speed buffer with a foam pad and Meguires 3 step kit. I watched in amazement as the most heavily oxidized boat I have ever seen was brought back to near original condition. Using the foam pad they could easily buff under the cleats without removal. Best stuff I have ever seen for marine work period.
