Pickle refinish, Bass Boat anyone?
« on: June 01, 2011, 02:53:37 PM »
So for the past 3 weeks, I've had my slaves (Kids, their friends, anyone else dumb enough to come by, yeah I did a lot myself too) Grabbing sandpaper and wet sanding pickle down. This has been bugging me since I bought it. SO I FINALLY gave RJ the go ahead to hit it with the buffer and Meguire's Oxidation remover.......



Just getting started, but MAN what a difference! Once this is done...... twice (Told RJ It hadda be done or he wasn't allowed to go to his moms this summer...... >:D ) Then we touch up the deck gouges that were in it when I bought it, be a brand new Bass Boat!!



I'll get some pics after he gets done with round 2 and we hit it with some wax..........under the lights to see it well!  :thumbup:

do yourself and get a DA, it'll rip thru that oxidation MUCH faster than that orbital and it wont leave your arms all tingly.
