16/48 tracker refresher
So I bought my boat a few years ago from a duck hunter that wanted it all came, so he stuck camp vinyl all over it, and painted the transom, and now green. I'm in the process of removing the vinyl, and was wondering what you guys use to strip the paint off the aluminum? And what's your favorite aluminum cleaner, and buffing compound?![Image]()

Decided while I was at it, I'd give the trailer some TLC, so the boat got hung in the garage. Trailer got wire wheeled, painted, new bunks, and tail lights.![Image]()

Great progress! Stock up on elbow grease! Or are you cheating and using a buffer?

That polish really looks like it does the job, I tried to look on the NAPA website for the blue can and didn't see it, what exactly did you use.
That's a nice looking setup, ENJOY!

Thank you! I just saw the blue can sitting on the boat and thought that was the only thing that you used.
