I cleaned and waxed our C27last spring. I bought a variable speed rotary sander/polisher from HarborFereight for about $39.95, used a rubbing compound, I believe it was 3M and then follored up with a 3M cleaner wax buffedon. The most important thing is to not let the buffer burnthroughthe gel coat which means keep it moving and don't stay in one place. I put the compoujnd on and let it dry for about 2 minutes then didthe buffing. Do a small area at a time sort of a 3' x 3' area. You can stand back and look at it from an angle and see what you are doing. I doubt if mine had ever been done and it is a 1988 so it was pretty dull. I had asked the guys in the yard about using Turtle Wax paste and they said it would not hold up so went with the better stuff. I think I have seen the 3M cleaner wax in WaLMart.

I'm entering my 4th season as owner of Eos, and have never cleaned or waxed the hull. There are brown rust stains (ubiquitous from the Chesapeake environs) I'd like to remove, and undoubtedly some oxidation that could use buffing. I'm thinking of getting an orbital random buffer and pads to do the buffing/waxing job, and I could use some tips. Bryan Armentrout 1981 C27 "Eos" #5000 Edgemere, MD
