My experience is that the wax needs to be buffed longer. A good buffer runs
fast enough to melt the wax so it distributes and penetrates better. It might also be that not enough wax was applied so that it didn;t cover completely. Doug "K. R. Lauzon" wrote in message ... My fibreglass boat while it shines, if you look at it at a certain angle, you can see swirls . and this bothers me. Has any one had an experience like this and what product would you recommend to remove the swirls or the wax from a fibreglass surface? |

What you are looking at, are micro scratches in the gelcoat finish. To
bring the finish up to a show quality, wet sand with 1500 grit then 2000 then 3000 and then then compound and finish with foam pad using 3m perfect-it 3000 products that you can purchase at the local auto paint and supply company. Its a lot of work, but you will get the results you are looking for. Here is a link that tells the process with the photos of the products to use. The process is the same for gelcoat and paint. http://www.shieldfinishes.com/3mfinalfinish.asp Don't wear your self out ![]() Bruce |
