After using Napa Aluminum Brightener then scrubbing with Brillo pads - didn't worry about the floor/ribs since it'll be covered. Exterior looks just as good - I need to take a pic. Also, I knocked out dents using a rubber mallet and also some PDR tools (I once was a paintless dent tech).
Holy cow, you did that by hand with brillo pads. :shock: That is a heck of a lot of scrubbing. My shoulders hurt just thinking about it.
By the way. I have to ask. Did you use the wax on/wax off method? :LOL2: :LOL2:

Yes, by hand with Brillo Pads. Actually, it was really quick and easy to get the shine back. Just used a squirt bottle and keep the surface wet. Took about two boxes of Brillo Pads. I'd skip the acid wash and just use the pads if I had to do it again. I spend maybe 2 hours doing both inside and out.
Well, it sure paid off. The boat looks fantastic.

Bugger, that must be good stuff, I took a pressure sprayer and a brillo oad attachment in a drill to get that effect, and it was still **** hard work.
But it definitely turned out nice.
