Got my old boat in the water, so waxing the hull is out. but i'd like

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.

Bob wasn't interested in prepping his boat properly, so he needs to
cheat to give the hull a temporary shine.
Modern conservatism.
pretty much the case. just wonder how he figures it makes the rich
richer

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 vessel is
held fast. The rest depends on muscles and leverage.

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.
