    Used it for the first time last weekend definitely worth buying if you're a person who likes detailing your own car recommend first time to use on lowest setting 800 so you don't burn paint don't leave in one spot keep moving it over paint easy to use th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfzbDkCRyv3CFXnLZI4APZtRRuG2uRmP2 truck looks like new again used maguires black light battery life like all milwaukee products seem to hold up well 😀

    Haven’t seen a single right technique in the video. I thought I’d see more from you guys.

    Hi Jon. A brilliant lesson. Maintenance is key to a great looking, protected boat. Plenty of elbow grease for a good result is gratifying. Great video thanks 😊

    Next cleaning the water tanks and conditioning the fuel left in over winter. Lubing the blinds and fixing the winter sqeaks

    Brilliant, I could see you enjoy the effort of doing it by hand as much as you enjoyed the end result. 👍❤️🇬🇧

    Y10 seems to be British thing. I’ve used other rust stain removers available in the States.

    So, it took you the better part of 20 minutes to complete that 3 foot section. How many days did it take to finish the rest of the vessel?

    Please info. Can I use a polish right after 3M fast cut. And then end it with a wax? Or do I need to use a ultra fine cut after fast cut

    Good stuff Jon. I love the "How to" videos. Once you're recovered from all the polishing, how about one on freshening up some teak?

      Thanks Brian - we did one with Nick a few years ago, but probably time we did an updated version

    Gel coat is such a horrible coating. It’ porous and susceptible to UV damage and fading.
    New automotive paints that have been adapted for marine use are far superior. However, manufacturers continue to use gel coat because it’s simple and cheap.
    The good news is you can seal and apply paint over the gel coal with magnificent results and longevity.
