Polish.
Submitted by Deckie on Wed, 2020-04-22 16:53
Hi Fishos,
chasing reccomendations for polish/cutting compound to bring up an older fibreglass hull.
There are places where the glass is looking a bit "milky" & discoloured, so i thought i would spend this down time bringing her back to shiny.
Any thoughts will be appreciated. The easier & cheaper the better. DIY is good for me.
cheers...

You really need a rotary buffer and wool pads for good results that dont take forever. I have some gear you can borrow if you want. Im NOR

I have just found a great
I have just found a great product called JUICE QCUT to do the first cut.
I used an orange foam pad on a dual action polisher and I was amazed at the results.
I then finished off with JUICE ENDURANCE SEALANT and a black foam pad on the dual action
I Bought the QCUT first and the guy said bring it back for a refund if I am not happy.
I went back and bought the sealant as well. it was that good
This stuff is $90 each per bottle for a litre of each but hugely worth it.
I then used the same stuff on my faded bonet of my dark blue Prado as it is an automotive cut and polish and my bonnet looked like it was repainted.
I only used maybe 200ml of each on a Reefrunner and it was real chalky so plenty left.
This combination just worked and I have tried all sorts of polish and have thrown plenty of half finished crap in the bin. I also think a rotary polisher might work well
I bought this from Premier Automotive Paints in Malaga and I have no links to them

x 2 for Juice - i used the Qcut and then the wax - the wax is expensive too but it lasts a whole year in the water - it sounds expensive but when you take into account how it takes you to do polish your boat its actually not

Blitz aluminium
Blitz aluminium cleaner,dilute half with water in a spray bottle( wear the appropriate safety gear) spray the oxidised area leave for 10 minutes and wash off. Then wash off again as it lingers.do small areas at a time.

Last one
Would not cut back if it does'nt need to be cut.
If it is just a dis coloring of the glass as in stained then I would just do a hull clean and a polish.

Thanks.
Thanks very much for your advice folks. I will look into them all.
Stevo, i have a rotary buffer but thanks for the offer, i appreciate it.
Scuba, yes it will just be a clean and polish. Just like to get rid of the "milky" look from different areas.
Thanks again for you suggestions.
Cheers.
