Wax on wax off question
 
My boat needs a wax job and is a little yellow. What do I use to clean it
before I wax it?

Try a caustic signature line. :-)

Failing that, a highly diluted oxalyic acid might work pretty well.

Gelcoat oxidizes and white gelcoats yellow. I would suspect that is what
you are seeing rather than old wax. You could confirm by wiping a spot down
with some alcohol or a harse detergent. That will remove any old wax and if
it is still yellow then your problem is the gelcoat. Since gelcoat is
generally pretty thick you can usually use a fine buffing compound on it.
That will take off a little and restore more of the original color.

China and Russia sell arms to Syria and Iran. Iran and Syria supply their
surrogates, in Hezbollah, el Qaeda and the rest, America is forced to fight
Islamo-fascism for fear of them coming to her shores and Libs fight to keep
America's President down while preventing America from being Energy
independent of OPEC, the perfect storm.

Hmmm, Why do I suspect that "CB" isn't at all concerned with wax?

Posting the word "boat", followed by a 5 line political troll in the
sig line makes the post, really, a political troll. In fact, this sig
is a long-line troll with a new bit of bait hooked up on every phrase.

Does CB = "Combat Bunny"? The style is pretty similar. I've always
thought sock puppets were silly, since way back in the days when
Sherry Lewis was on TV.

It's Shari Lewis, not Sherry Lewis. Ms. Lewis was a star. You are not.

Not even close. Dave has a lot more class and he is considerably
better than whoever this was.

The writing style is about as similar to Combat Bunny as eggs are
similar to claw foot bathtubs.

Chuck, I just realized that JimH found a way to make a donation to the Race
for the Cure without it showing up in the scroll. I think he may have
clicked on the 'Racing for Renee' button instead of the 'Support Renee'
button. The donation then gets added as a Team Gift, and does not show up
in the scrolling list.

(Sorry for the interruption!)

John, I was unaware that wife made a significant donation to the Susan
B. Komen "Race for the Cure", Seattle district, within the last two
weeks. Same organization; and while it won't show up on your
daughter's donor list it will accomplish the same good. We also just
got tapped by Habitat for Humanity for enough to buy "a front door, a
back door, and X sq feet of kitchen flooring" at charity breakfast
last week. The charitable well is temporarily dry.

You might be interested to know that our yacht club is assembling a
team of people to participate in the Seattle race this year- and has
been challenged by another yacht club to either turn out more walkers/
runners or raise more $$$.
There's an option for those of us not predisposed to "race for the
cure". It's called "Sleep in for the Cure", and involves an exercise
of the check writing muscles. :-)
