Hello Bernie
I use NUFINISH myself and provided you clean the area properly with a product called PREPSOL there is no problem at all with later Gelcoat or PU applications. The cleaning needs to be very thorough and should be done repeatedly using clean rags all the time. I hope this helps. Kind regards Bernard _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bernie Baer Sent: Sunday, 27 September 2009 10:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Aus-soaring] Silicon free polishes? Hello folks, it's Form 2 time and we plan to give our LS1-f a bit of a buff and polish. A product called NuFinish was recommended, however a quick Google search finds that it contains silicon and I understand that this is not a good thing should any future repairs be required. Is this correct, or is silicon getting a bad rap? Our club has used a Meguiars marine product called M4516 High Gloss Polish, I am led to believe that this contains no silicon but have yet to confirm that. See http://www.meguiars.com.au/productdetail_2006.php?seq=9 <http://www.meguiars.com.au/productdetail_2006.php?seq=9&category=SPECIALTY&; subcat=Marine%20Care&subsubcat=Polish%20and%20Protect&show=3> &category=SPECIALTY&subcat=Marine%20Care&subsubcat=Polish%20and%20Protect&sh ow=3 Can anyone speak with authority on this subject? Any other products that I should know about? The gel coat is in good condition, it was machine buffed last year and shows little if any oxidisation to my untrained eye. I imagine a quick polish followed by a wax would be sufficient, so the Meguiars marine products are looking good: http://www.meguiars.com.au/product_2006.php?category=SPECIALTY <http://www.meguiars.com.au/product_2006.php?category=SPECIALTY&subcat=Marin e> &subcat=Marine Care&subsubcat=Polish Thanks, Bernie.
