The 3M rep stop by my home this evening with 6quarts ea of the heavy duty compound and Finesse-itII.

Approx $500 in materials also asked or begged for more foam pads. Compounds to last a life time.

So anybody needing to shine up there boat we have supplies.

Just get ahold of me we have abox of supplies to pass around and use. Have a hard time squeezing Gregg in the box.

But as time will allow I will be willing to help.

Meguiers is great stuff also. It is now own by 3M

Didn't know that. Guess Barry made enough $ off "Car Crazy" and decided to retire? At least with 3M being the new owners, we shouldn't have to worry about the quality of their product declining!

I wish you were closer Jeff. That CV23 that I bought about a month ago could sure use a good buffing and waxing. The finish is in really good shape, it was barn kept, but it needs that finishing touch to bring out the deep orange sun light sparkle. Any suggestions on what to use when I buff it out in the spring. Also does anyone have suggestions for the windshield, it is crazed and I think it will need to be wet sanded, but arent there finishing products for that as well.

Sounds like someone is ready to put their 6 Million Dollar shoulder to work. Did it come with a buffing attachment?

Barb

Plan on bring your cv23 up around the end of May and picking it back up say around the middle of September should be enough time to clean and buff, don't you think Gregg.

Also could possibly take care of the detailing of the interior .

LOL Jeff

Hyperacme · « **Reply #12 on:** January 11, 2012, 05:25:46 PM »

YEP !
We also do interiors now ...
Might even have it done by end of Aug.

Burnin Daylight · « **Reply #13 on:** January 11, 2012, 06:54:52 PM »

I could meet you somewhere in the middle in June, maybe Lake Rathbun in Iowa. Oh yea Doran says bring Burnin Daylight instead of the CV23. I think he wants to see who comes with the fastest boat, Jeff what do you think? Are you spending any $$$ over the winter for another mph.

OleRed · « **Reply #14 on:** January 11, 2012, 08:06:30 PM »

I don't see why ya can't take the CV-23 Barb, just bring it by here for a few days first ... I mean, we don't know how fast that baby is ... yet

Burnin Daylight · « **Reply #15 on:** January 11, 2012, 08:20:35 PM »

Don't be trying to stroke me Red. If I bring the CV23 I'll be needing to relax not be all wound up.

OleRed · « **Reply #16 on:** January 11, 2012, 08:36:00 PM »

"Stroke" no .. not me, wouldn't Even think about it, just say'n, we don't know how big a heart that little darlin has yet ... Surely you didn't think I was wanting to, uh ... work on it.

I'm thinking this spring will be a good time to do this to mine for the first time. I'm thinking the avocado green should be a little darker than it appears today and according to the brochure it should be white, not off white!

Hyperacme · « **Reply #18 on:** January 14, 2012, 08:15:07 PM »

Should be an easy job Josh ...
I think all Glastron's white was a kind of off white, my 72 V-156 was an off white, But should shine up nice !

I think Greg is right, I thought my Starflite should have buffed out white also, but did some looking on Iboats and the gelcoat they have listed under the year of 1975 is off white.
