Hey guys first post on tinboats.net, build thread soon to come!
I have a early 70's Starcraft sea scamp. I am wanting to bring the hull to a polished shine below the water line. I tried one round with a powerball and Mother's polish and it seemed like after I washed the boat with dish soap and water that it took the shine away. I have started another round of polishing, this time applied by hand and buffed with an orbital buffer. I have tested a small spot with water and soap again and it seems the same thing will happen.
Should I not even wash afterwards? I figured it would be a good idea to remove any of the black polish residue in the seams and scrapes. Am I wrong? Any suggestions?
