Kerosene. Be careful. Don't let it drip into the water or you will have
visitors.

Not recommended.....

... it is the same philosophy as using kerosene or diesel oil on OD
green or..... running a wet patch through a dirty rifle barrel.

...doesn't do the job, just makes it look like you did...





Bob wasn't interested in prepping his boat properly, so he needs to
cheat to give the hull a temporary shine.

Wow. two dumb statements in a row. Seriously Bobby, Waxing a boat in the
water is hard enough but compounding?
that's going to take a "liberal" amount of elbow grease. You really need
to get your back into it. Are you really planning on standing in water
with an electric buffer in hand?
Hope everything works out for you.

The comment was based on your interest in cheating. A true
conservative would find a way to secure the vessel so a proper job
could be done. I've done plenty of compounding while the boat is
docked. Just a matter of positioning it in a way that the veseel is
held fast. The rest depends on muscles and leverage.

There are crews who come to the marina to wash, buff and wax boats while
the boats are in the water. Maybe the fake flajim posting here could get
a job wiping the sweat off the brows of these hard-working crews.

Nah. I always have my boats in showroom condition, both mechanically and
cosmetically prior to launch. Good planning reduces or eliminates the
need to do the sort of maintenance you speak of. Any respectable marina
would throw out any boat owner who would compound his boat while other
boaters were trying to enjoy their summer dockage.
