[QUOTE="oakchas, post: 419395, member: 18746"] Okay, so... I touched up the few spots that were re-primed. Wet sanded them down to 2000 grit. I started buffing out the transom and and got it done and some of the the port side. I'm using some old Turtle Wax buffing compound (paste) that I had around. This is not my first choice for buffing compound with a random orbit sander polisher... but it's doing the job, and it's not hurting anything. After I get the buffing done, I plan to polish with polishing compound, and then waxing. Just having done the research on waxing a freshly painted item (car/boat, whatever), there's a lot of talk about not doing it. "paint has to off gas," and all that... If 90+ degree days and sunshine won't sufficiently bake the paint... Surface temps on the boat skin have been over 125 degrees... I don't know what will...I'm gonna wax it. I carpeted the bunks on the trailer a few days ago... and I'm getting anxious to get it back on the trailer to start working on the interior. This has taken much longer than I wanted it to; but I think in the end, it will have been worth it. pix soon. [/QUOTE]
