It never NEEDED wet sanding but it can never be too shiny. There were some spots that were kind of ruff feeling where the clear is beginning to break down. I want her to be nice and smooth and shiny!

I used a random orbital electric sander to do the wet-sanding. Made quick work of it.

I did my V172 by hand and that took forever.

How about a run down on the grits you used? Since it was nice to start with, you probably didnt have to start out with anything very heavy. And did you use any compound, water or what?

Started with 1000 then 3000. Now I need to buff. I probably didn't need to use 1000 though.

On my V172 I started with 600 then 1000 then buff.

But Gregg raves about 3000 so I had to try it. His boat does look awesome!

Jason,

Looks good. My cvx has a great shine too, but contemplating with just a good wax to keep the sparkle it has. Only area that could use a compound I think is the rear top where the original cover didn't cover. You can see it in the calendar picture.  Mainly the 2 rear corners just before the teak strips. 

I have 30 inches of snow and its 42 out. Perfect day to be working on these, but can't get to it.

I have to admit after washing the boat from wet sanding and seeing all the little scratches I got nervous. But now after hours of buffing with two different compounds and foam pads and then a final coat of 3M marine wax I can now know what this thing look liked new. If you thought it looked good before, "the 3000 treatment" made it look amazing. It looks wet and is as soft as a babies butt! Thanks for borrowing me the 3000 kit Jeff!

Now I just need to find some sun and open water....

Looks amazing.  Every time I think I have just gotten over Flake Envy, one of you guys goes showin' off again and I start all over at square one.

3000 is amazing stuff ... Give it that depth of shine ...
Would have been nice if you would have invited us over to help ... Instead of keepin' all the fun to your self ... That was selfish of you Jason ...

You BETTER have shined up your trim peices !

Let me grab my sunglasses before I go blind!  Nice work. As an old prop polishing man, I need to expand my product line. White Bear Boat Works (Mike) polished the bow of the CVX-16, but the rest of the metalflake needs work.

Jason, don't run into your boat this year and spoil all your hard work with the bad-brakes ATV. LOL
