Sure, I have a 1973 42' which looks quite good. Usually you would wash the boat then use a rubbing or polishing compound then a wax. My suggestion is you get these three in the 3M brand which is available everywhere. Test a spot to be sure. If it works OK get a good buffer with several different cloths (for gritted rubbing and polishing compound then a clean one for wax) and start, being careful to not "burn" the surface with the buffer by keeping it moving and not using too much pressure. Be careful on edges.
Once this is done maintenance is much easier but you must keep at it. Rewax the upper sunshine surfaces 2 times a year. Wash only with a mild soap, never dish soap which will strip the wax. Top to bottom takes several days done right. Better work out than most gyms give you. FYI, done professionally casts $1,500 -$2,000 and may be worth it for the first time. Your choice. Everyone has their favorite products. The practical sailor magazine once did a test of waxes to see which lasted the longest. Collinite 885 paste wax worked best by far. The rule of thumb seems to be the harder it is to put on and buff out, the longer it lasts. It's a bugger but does last a bit longer. I have a PDF of the test results article if anyone wants it. Have fun. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "UnifliteWorld" group.
