OK, I've got to ask,

What do you do if you bought your boat used and it wasn't kept "mirror polish finish" but more like "white spots from saltwater?" I've heard try white vinegar, try Mothers, try 3M aluminum boat polish, try Flitz or something like that, hell, I've even heard use brillo-type things or Scotchbrites.

The 3M polish seemed to work pretty good, but it took ALOT of elbow grease... more than I wanted to do... I did a little spot and said the hell with it.

So my question is, has anyone ever "restored" the mirror finish to a boat that has been let go? I'm ready to use an orbital buffer or something to get it where I want. Once you get it back to where you want, do you wax it, or are you guys saying you just use the WD-40 or hydraulic oil?

My Custom Weld appreciates any info you give.
