Oxidation removal

[medic]

Hello everyone!

I accidentally stumbled across something today that I would like to share with you. Let me start with the fact that my hard top is very oxidized and chalky looking. I was in the final stages of cleaning the boat and was polishing the rocket launcher when I stumbled across something. I was using Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish on the launcher when I accidentally got some on the hard top. I wiped it off (with minimal effort) and was shocked at what I saw. I would have to say that the majority of the oxidation was gone. It looked like I had just hit it with a buffer. So, I used a little more and did another small section of the top. WOW.. I broke out the #7 rubbing compound and did a small spot next to the Mothers and the Mothers beat it hands down.

I am very aware that this product is made to polish metal and I have no clue if it will have an adverse effect on the gelcoat, but I plan on doing the whole hard top with it. It is THAT incredible. I will try to get a picture of the difference tomorrow and get it posted for you to see.

Thanks Bill. It may save some elbow grease.

No problem. Like I said, we'll see how it effects the glass but I don't forsee a problem. I was just shocked how fast and easy it smoothed out and put a shine on that gelcoat.. As soon as the sun gets up a little higher, I will go out and do a good sized spot and try to get a pic of it.

Ok, All...

Here is a pic of what the Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish is doing to the oxidation.. Sorry about the quality. The digital camera is dead at the moment so I used my cell..

I am still shocked at how this is treating it. It takes a lot of product, a little elbow grease, but I feel that the end result is sweet. With a coat of wax, it should take 10 years off the top..
