[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4302373, member: 15054"] Other one is 20 foot this one is 21 and has 20 more HP. Now I have tried many methods yesterday and today to get these toons shiny with minimal scratches. At the beginning of today I used 800 grit and wet sanded the back of a toon then took some scotchbright from oreilly in a box that stated 800 grit but it is finer than 1000 grit paper during my testing today. So 800 then the scotchbright both sanding with running water from a water hose keeping it well soaked. Dry it and use 8" buffing wheel and white bar compound on the wheel. Chucked in a drill and spinning under 2000 rpm. Find the sweet spot for your combo that does not leave scratches. The buffing wheel had some break-in time before it put down a scratch free shine. Yes i raked the wheel and many times during polishing I rake it and re-apply the white stick compound. I had 2 friends over helping today and I even got froggy and did the 4" aluminum rail above the toons. That rail got wiped down with scotch bright sprayed with WD40 then wipe that off and I used a 5.5" buffing wheel off a bench grinder. Not going for huge shine on the rail though just cleaner. You can see the rail in this picture and it has not been touched yet. And this was today 800 grit then scotch bright then buff . That combo is a winner for sure. [ATTACH type="full"]496968[/ATTACH] Notice the rail that goes around the deck.. dull looking. [ATTACH type="full"]496969[/ATTACH] This is the rail after a few minutes. This toon is not super nice as this was start point yesterday and it will get redon when my ordered stuff from Renegade gets here. This is today on the toon on the other side. [ATTACH type="full"]496970[/ATTACH] And another picture. [ATTACH type="full"]496971[/ATTACH] It is so smooth water can't stick to it slick like ice and I will NOT do the bottom where the bunk boards are at. I want it to sit solid on those boards. If you made it this far reading I have thought of maybe painting the front cones on the toon to have a shark mouth or something cool maybe war plane teeth. YES? NO? [/QUOTE]
