Polishing a dark hull can be daunting, but it's not hard. Here's how we do it:
Step 1 - use Level R on a white wool pad on a rotary machine
Step 2 - use Elevate on a yellow wool pad on a rotary machine
Step 3 - use Ignition on a D/A with an Orange HDO foam pad
Step 4 - if just using a polymer sealant, top with hyper hold pro or our hybrid marine sealant.
Step 5 - if you're going to ceramic coat your boat, use Triple P on a D/A with an orange or white pad - this preps the boat's gelcoat to accept the ceramic as gel coats are porous. Prior to Triple P you should use our surface prep or you can use an isopropyl alcohol and water mix to ensure the surface is contaminant free before applying Triple P.
Step 6 - choose your ceramic - dwell time and hardness are the difference in our three offerings with Repel being the hardest and with the least amount of dwell time (about 2-4 minutes per 2x2 section).
