WOW

[carver 2557]

About 3 years ago a buddy of mine was cleaning out his garage and have me a box of cleaning junk for the boat...I found the box the other day in the back corner of the shed, so I thought I would give 2 of them a try...I did the Port side of the boat with the buffer and my normal cleaners and waxes..You know the buffer that starts out at 10 pounds and weighs 110 at the other end of the boat...It looks good...Took about 5 hours and 14 ounces of Rum to do...
Today I used Starbrite Fiberglass Color Restorer and Sealer, and followed that up with Aquapro Liquid Polymer Sealant on the Starboard side...
I am totally amazed at the results and the effortless task in applying both these...All was done by hand and no power buffer needed...Here is a pic of the Starboard side, which took less than 1 hour to do...
I have only done from the rub rail down so far...

Wow is right! Nice gloss.

It will be interesting to see how it lasts. Is it still available?

Hey Wayne, when can I expect you to do mine? I got lotsa rum!

Boatfix sells the starbrite color restorer..

I had to go over some spots that had a bit more oxidization a couple of times...

As far as the Liquid Polymer Sealant, it is a Canadian Manufactured product that I used, but there may be others available.....I dont know if it is still available or not...The instructions say it will last for 6 to 8 months...I'm a bit doubtful on that, but we will see this summer...

Wayne,

That looks great! In the past I have used a product called Vertglas that a shines very similar to that what you have done. If you remember, I had the same Carver as you since 1989. I was forced to unload it since I got laid off. Loved that boat!

Enjoy the new season!
