Any decent polishing compound and some elbow grease. Follow with wax. If you keep it waxed with a good wax that will reduce the future chalking. |

No it doesn't. Just run it in some shallow water and work on it. |

Look up 3M-09004. Best used with a polishing machine but you can get good results by hand with some investment. You can buy this is larger quantities for larger jobs. Worked very well on the Tolly gelcoat. Collinite Fleet Wax afterwards for the best protection. Pay attention to the directions for best results. Don't let the fleet wax dry. Buy a big bag of cotton towels at Costco for use with the compound and/or removing the wax. |

Are you really planning on standing in water with an electric buffer in hand? Hope everything works out for you. Jim have you ever seen a picture of my boat? yes, i can wax much of it in the water. do you HAVE a boat? other than a kayak, i mean... I know what a 26' Tolly Tub looks like. Oh, so you have a kayak? Do you polish it while it's on the hard? |

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. I take it you own a trailer boat or one that comes out during winter? You seem unaware that some boats remain in the water all year. It's just the sort of narrow view I'd expect from whoever you are today. Bob's boat spends the winters on the hard, where that sort of maintenance should be done. Nothing like having a memorial day picnic on the docks while some thoughtless asshole is running a grinder/buffer a couple of boats down. Are you that thoughtless fleabagger asshole? Feeble deflection attempt. We were talking about how I compound the boat while in the water, not Bob's. If you were close by, I'd be certain to run my polisher whenever you were present. Nothing like a gleaming shine on the boat to keep the neighborhood happy. Who in the **** has a Memorial Day picnic on a dock unless the dock is on your own property? You sound water rat low lifes. Ah Ha You confirm that you are that thoughtless fleabagger asshole. No wonder you don't have friends on the docks to party with. |

I have friends and family and we gather in houses, backyards, boats or beaches together. We're not among you sewer rats who frequent a dock in hopes of finding other vermin with which to play. |

Do you polish it while it's on the hard? Why don't you go to Harry's new group and trash other people's choice in boats? Why are you here? There's a fine group of folks who you can harass at rec.paddletoys. You can edify all on how you stroke (yourself). |
