If you read JimH's response, you can see an example of someone who can
not tell the difference between a high speed buffer and a random orbit
buffer. Unfortunately, some people are not able to read directions or
follow a thread discussion high speed buffing.

Good point.

Funny thing isn't it: Just before I leave to wash and wax the boat and
read
several posts where 2 folks try to pick a fight with me.

I come back from working on the boat and I read a new post by yet another
person trying to pick a fight with me.

And yet *I* am the one being accused of starting fights and ****ing
contests.

Way to funny! ;-)


Whose two posts did you read? No one's looking for a fight with you.

Sorry guys but the thread was not about *high speed* buffing. It was
about
buffing.

Nice try though.



You may not have been talking about high speed circular buffing, but
that is what JiminFla, RCE and I were talking about. That being the
case, I can understand why you were confused.

It *is* kind of nice to see JimH apologizing before being shown the error
of his ways!

Trying to start yet another ****ing contest John? Sorry, but I won't play
your silly game.

Have a nice evening.

When I got my old beater, A 2-spd buffer was recommended by the marina
where I got it ... very chalky ... or there were detailing people that
would do the work for about $1200. The thing is, all the fittings/rails
need to be removed, as well as the old vinyl striping and so on. I
thought what the heck, I'll just use one of those handy dandy
polishers. Well, I didn't get more than maybe a few feet down the hull
before that polisher burnt out. My experience ... for that first
rubbing compond work, remove all the fittings etc, if you're lucky the
striping will be old and dry and can be gently scraped off, and get
yourself a 2-spd buffer ... they're usually on sale 1/2 price
somewhere. Sure, I only got a one time use out of the buffer. Oh yeah,
if you have any aluminum like I do associated with the rub rails (?), I
suggest rub the area close to that by hand else the buffer picks up the
oxidation from the aluminum ... result ... grey rubbing compound :-(

I will use my hands to polish the area near the fittings and the
aluminum stripes. Thanks a lot.

One thing that I don't understand is the part about not polishing the
vinyl color stripes. Are you referring to the large color
banner/stripe all around many boats for decoration purpose? Did you
get around it using hand polishing instead of the power tool? I was
thinking of polishing the color banner just like the gelcoat. This is
good that you have warned me against this. I appreciate your warning.

I cannot believe that the detailing guys would ask you to remove all
the hardware fittings. If the hardware fittings were mounted on the
boat using something like 3M 5200, we would have a hard time removing
them, right? Is this a common practice? I am asking this just for my
curiosity. I cannot afford $1200 to make my old boat beautiful (that
boat doesn't cost much more than that anyway).
