What do you guys do to polish your boats? I have a 89 tx17 That needs some attention. Just afraid of doing it wrong. Like to have that mirror polish look all you guys are getting.
Thanks. Randall

Sorry if I'm posting in wrong place.
 
LOL after a couple of seasons of trying to maintain the shine,
you will be back here asking what primer and paint to use over a shiny surface LOL

Aluminum is basically the same. . . Whether it be a McDonald-Douglas DC-10 aircraft,
pontoon boat or Airstream Camper... . check out YouTube about polishing metals
and what tools and compounds to use.
Depends on your budget and free time as to the degree of "shine" you want to achieve.

a quick search turned up this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVRzG5tp7B0

Enjoy !!!

I just removed all the vinyl striping and boat name from my 1648 that the P/O put on
plus some factor ones that have been on since 1988.
I would like to keep it shiny, but, I know from past experience just how much WORK it takes
to maintain the shine. Unless you clear coat it with automotive clear.
And just like the clear coat on a car, it too must be maintained.
Washing, waxing, washing, waxing yada yada yada
