its a new one that just came out. I love it.

first used Starbrite ultra fiberglass stain remover to wash the boat
then Wet sanded with 1000 grit
Then wool pad with Shurhold Magic Buff
Then foam pad applying Shurhold Polish wax
and then the Shurhold microfiber bonnet to polish in the wax
Boat came out amazing, hadn't been done in at least 8 years I owned the boat I was quote $100-$125 a foot
I did it for under $250 total and a about 16 hours over three days - I was constantly interrupted and I took my time, was my first boat and I was nervous as hell - tapping off the vinyl stripes and lettering was a long time to protect from wet sand. Shoulders and forearms hurt for two days after, but now a polish wax once a year maybe a cutt buff every two and it will be fine. upkeep is key otherwise you will do the long term trip like i did. But I enjoyed it - the work is easy just the time

Finish pictures were only after the cut Buff except the last was after polish wax applied, tape was removed for vinyl to be polished waxed
Looks great. I didn’t bother taping off stripes and they were fine.
