Mike if you werent 591miles from me i would be there helping you on this i love reviving boats!!

[TexasTB]

Wow, stunning results! Doing boats is a chore. I find that it is a love/hate relationship. I start out loving it, then hating it, then finishing and loving it again! :-)

I have used the 3M marine line a few times on some nasty boats, and I must say that I was quite impressed by the outcome.

Cannot wait to see more pics. Keep up the great work. The boat looks like a blast to toy with!

I cant tell any difference... NOT

Really great write-up, Mike. May I ask, what speed(s) were you working in the XMT 4, 3, 2, and 1 with the Flex Rotary? I know you said you worked in the XMT Glaze at speed 1, but I'm just curious what speed you are supposed to polish at with the Flex Rotary?

I can't believe how smooth that Flex looked in the video, you were just polishing with one hand and recording video in the other...impressive!

HAHAHA!!!!!


WOW! Seeing that I just couldn't believe the difference!

It's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO amazing! Wow.....

I need a thesaurus to find some better words to describe the transformation!

If I was near by I would definitely come by and give you a hand (and learn some rotary skills ) but I'm far far away from you so not today

Great job, I think you should just keep it 2 toned, hehe. How you liking the Flex rotary? I was thinking of it as my first rotary but dont know about the 1100 rpm low speed, thinking maybe a lower speed would be better for a noob?

Anyways keep up the great job, love reading your post. FYI, fk1000p is a great wax on boats and cars!

I would like to see a Menzerna trial somewhere. You pick the poison as there are a bunch to pick from. Some heavy cutters to fine finishers. I have been just starting to use Menzerna. One thing I notice that it takes
very little polish to work and it works for a long time before it starts drying up.
