Last week I was challenged with restoring this Donzi speed boat. The top side was very faded the sides weren't too bad but still needed a little love.
The boat came back much better than expected and customer thrilled with the results.
The only thing that didn't come out was where the cover was around windshield, you can see a fade line even after buffing it might have come out with some wet sanding but it was pretty severe and customer wasn't worried about it at all.

As always Jim, your work is stellar. Great job my friend! Now, see if the client will let you haul it down for Detail Fest next year.

Awesome restoration Jim! I've never ridden in or raced a Donzi boat but she looks lean and mean..

I used a number of products if you have done a lot of boats you know what works well on one might not well on another but mostly Megs marine series with LC hydro pads no wool on this job.

Thanks for the complements it was a fun detail and results where outstanding as the customer stated.
