A Little Paint TLC Before Storage (w/Pic)

[Fisherman For a Lifetime]

My fishin' boat, see below, needed a little TLC before putting it away yesterday.

Below the line is Meguiar's Ultimate Compound with my new Griots Garage DA/RO Buffer.

Not bad, eh?

Nice work!

I like the Mequires DA Microfiber Correction system with my Cable Porter 7424xp (after using claybar), although I have not had a chance to try it on a boat since I sold my boat. I will just have to buy another boat so I can try it!

Hey, thanks!

That's Black paint you're looking at.

Did my Saturn, a Camry, my GMC Sierra, a BMW, a Mercedes & an Audi.

I should do it on the side. For cheap.

Very interesting!

I would like to know more about what you did.

I had purchased some Crestliner black spray paint from a dealer.

I used it to touch up some dock rash and a few other scratched areas. It looks "Ok".

But I am wondering if I then added this rubbing compound on top (like you have used) and then buffed it - if it would smooth out the paint touch up?

Can you tell me where you purchased the rubbing compound?

[DTro]

wow, that one really plays tricks with your mind

LOL I thought you had a chrome boat!

Can you tell me where you purchased the rubbing compound?

I like buying from Detailed Image, an online store. That's where I purchased the products I listed.

[Hoffer]

would the rubbing compound you listed work well over the touch up painting I did to kind of smooth it out and even it in?

Looking good, would love you hear your entire process.

Thanks guys!

Used a medium pad with the Meg's Ultimate compound. You can get it at Wal-mart or Fleet Farm. Put it on a speed of 5 then did up & down, then side-side strokes. Then wiped it off.

Put on Meg's Nxt 2.0 on a waxing pad with a speed setting of 3, then did up & down, then side-side strokes again. Then wiped it off again.

That's it!!

I'm likin' the Surf City Garage waxes better, will buy nothing but from now on.

Just did my 2006 GTO. Looks purrrrty now...
