Buff magic (use) question

[Bates Detailing]

I understand doing a much quicker one step polish of a boat - but I can say for those that have not done a boat before that my first boat was about 3 months ago and I have since done over 30 boats (word of mouth) ..... all because others in the area do a one to two step polish and the extra steps we toss in make a MAJOR difference...... sometimes the extra work is worth it for sure

No matter what product we use or if we need to sand
with 1000 grit , we always prep the surface first ,in heavely
oxidized situations. Since Buff Magic, especially pink, has fine DAT jeweling
capabilities, we don't burden the products ablity to cut in to fresh gelcoat and breakdown to a polish by leaving surface decayed particals that clutter a products ability to perform correctly.
We do take an extra step, but we do it on the front end, not the back end.

Anthony's work stands on it's own.

However, I recently seen similar work on many boats in a boat yard at Lake Erie. Those folks I spoke with swear by Buff Magic.

Some manufacturers use Buff Magic soley at the factory and buy it by the 50 gallon drums. There is white and pink Buff Magic. The white being more coarse. Both are DAT products.

I recently added some pink Buff Magic to my arsenal to try. I have Meg's #67 One-Step Compound, and some 3M products. I've only gotten to use the #67 which is a fabulous product, but AG doesn't seem to list it on their website and I haven't figured out why.

Buff Magic in capable hands = no extra polishing.

Buff Magic is for buffing to a polished shine. Polish is needed to protect the surface from UV and environmental damage.

I think you mean "wax/sealer is needed to protect.............."

If not, you are one dumb ass detailer.

Polish provides no protection at all.

Yes, that is what I meant... wax/sealer. Now, as far as the dumb-ass remark - seriously? Only behind a keyboard and computer does one show his Testosterone levels.

He could have meant Pro Polish which, like Buff Magic, is a Yacht Bright product and does offer protection.

Thank you Hoytman: Put in a civilized manner without any name calling. Now that's what makes a forum like this work.

NOOO - not seriously.

Geez - does nobody have a sense of humour anymore???

Thanks for the compliment man - I may have to order some of this buff magic and check it out - I talked to Garry Dean a week or two ago and he has a similar product as well - Id really like to take him up on his product ...... may have to compare the 2 side by side soon
