12' Seaking V

[ddmopowar]

Hey all I just bought my first boat a month or so ago and Im going to take the winter to fix er up! I already have the boat stripped out! and rubbed the hull down with Marykates aluminex but it left the hull with a whitish tint! To get somewhat of a shine back to the aluminum I tried rubbing a section down with noxon, ive also tried brasso and mothers aluminum polish so far no luck! any ideas?

Do you want a polished surface? Most don't because of the glare. I would just use clenser and a brush or skuff pad to leave a clean but dull surface

I wouldnt mind having a polished surface below the waterline. im gonna paint above the splash rail so glare shouldnt be an issue

When you "Polish Metals",<br />You're Removing material from the surface......<br />You could conceivably Polish a Hole right thru it........<br />I think I'd rethink what you have in mind.........<br /><br />I mean, Who wants a Thinner boat bottom, Especially an Old Row Boat.................<br /><br />Paint the Whole Thing..............
