Re: Stus-List Dull red hull

I echo Francois's approach too. I have the same buffer (but got it for $39 at one of the H-Freight sales) and have been using 3m Restorer & Wax with wool pads (also from H-freight). I am for now just doing 1 pass and it is lo

I bought a Columbia 26 MKII in 1974 and moved it to the Corinthian Yacht Club.  In 1976 I moved it to Lake Grapevine because it was closer to where I live in Bedford.  I sold my boat in 2012 because the slip fees went up every year.  Since then I have sailed with the American Airlines Sailing Cl

Frank, Where do you have your boat? My previous boat (Southcoast 23) was in Lake Lewisville at Dallas Corinthian Yacht Club. That was a long time ago (before Lake Ray Roberts). We lived in the Colony. Neil Schiller 1970 Redwing 35, Hull #7 (C&C 35, Mark I) White Lake, Michigan WLYC On 7/2

Re: Stus-List Dull red hull

Thanks for the detailed response.  It sounds like a lot of work so I will wait until October when the temperature drops to a comfortable level.  Just now it is very hot in the DFW area.  I did a few minor repairs on the boat this morning and had to drink two bottles of water and one beer to get

I'm with Francois on this - and stay away from silicone products (most and certainly all of the "easy" ones). Read this: http://www.sailnet.com/forums/gear-maintenance/52772-tips-compound-polish-wax.html Steve Suhana, C&C 32 Toronto ___ This list is su

Hi Frank, I tried several things and my best result was take all oxidation with a high speed polisher with wool pads / 3M super duty, wet sand it with 1500-2000 grit paper and lots of water then buff with a high speed polisher with wool pads, 3M Finesse-it compound or Meguire's fine compound.

This would more than likely be a painted hull and not GelCoat, right? On 7/20/2016 10:26 PM, Franklin Schenk via CnC-List wrote: My friend has a C&C29 with a red hull. I would like to polish it with something to bring back the original color. Many years ago I could buy a car polish that wo

Re: Stus-List Dull red hull

I would try a cleaner/wax first. (Meguiars Flagship Premium Cleaner/Wax) They abrasives in a cleaner wax are extremely fine. Failing that, try Aquabuff 2000 (A polishing compound), a high speed dual action polisher and water. Note that there is a difference between a polishing compound and a rub

Re: Stus-List Dull red hull

Hi Frank, I just did my boat with Aurora Marine Boat Shine. It worked very well. There's a two part wash, then you buff the hull with a product called EZ Buff, and then give it two coats of Boat Shine which applies and is removed like a traditional wax. I was really amazed how my C&C 25 shin

  My friend has a C&C29 with a red hull.  I would like to polish it with  something to bring back the original color.  Many years ago I could buy a car polish that would do the job.  I assume that there are new products available today.  Any suggestions? Frank
