    Talking Rinker 209 Boat Detail

    Hi Guys,


    I purchased my Flex 3401 just a few short months ago. I am finally using it.

    My brother in law purchased a 1996 Rinker 209. The boat was in mechanically great shape. However, the boat is in need of a detail.

    I used my 3401, white Hybrid pad and WG TSR. When I ordered my Hybrid pads, I did not except to be polishing a boat so I did not get a blue pad and according to many recommendations, I will be purchasing some to put in the cabinet.

    However, the white Hybrid pad and WG TSR has removed the white chalky mess and left behind a smooth glossy finish. It is not 100% defect free but it is exceeding the expectations we had. As a newbie, this is very exciting. I am leaving work shortly to finish and will try to get some pictures to add to this thread.

    I am thinking the PE-8 would be nice to have for the smaller areas.
    Thanks to those who post and provide me with information to absorb.

    That's good to hear. For the edges and what not I reccomend a rotary buffer, it will cut the oxidation faster and wax the edges a whole lot better than the flex will. The flex is more of a hologram remover, it will cut oxidation but not as quickly as a rotary.

    Re: Rinker 209 Boat Detail

    I didn't take any before pictures. I plan to be more prepared next time. However the boat turned out great. 4 nights after work so a total of roughly 10 hours.

    I already covered the engine but it is spotless. Can anyone recommend an APC that doesn't smell terrible?

    I am itching to pick up the PE-14 now. I have another boat lined up.

    I used M21 because it's what I had and this wasn't a paying detail. Can anyone recommend a quality LSP for boats?

    Thanks again for viewing/commenting. I hope to improve the next feature with many before, during and after photos.
