I have a 2005 Skeeter. I have never waxed it before other than the spray on stuff after I wash it. The shine has dulled a little and now I want to restore it. I am thinking about buying an electric buffer and doing it that way. Problem is I have never done this before. Is it hard? How do I do it and what type of waxes and stuff do I need to buy? Thanks for your help!

To begin with make sure it is clean, get some Maguire's cleaner wax and apply like you would your car using a variable buffer with a sponge pad, buff wile still damp. Then wipe with a clean rag. You may have to do this a few times to get the look you want. If it still looks dull you may have to be more aggressive. Maguire's makes polishing compound you may have to use. Then go back over with the cleaner wax. Be careful to not stay in one spot to long! You don't want to put burn marks in the gel coat. Good luck (I also said the same to your other post in Bass Fishing) FISHMAN

You need to keep your boat under a roof or get a cover. Keeping it from fading is much better than fixing it after the sun does it's summertime magic.

thanks Fishman. I will try it out. I Just don't want to hurt the gell coat. What is the polishing compound used for? Sorry for the dumb questions just new to the polishing stuff.

PvilleAngler, I do keep it covered with a good cover but I use this boat a lot and it is just a little dull. Not too bad. I just want it to look new again!!

SKEETER TZX the compound would be used if the cleaner wax will not cut it! Try using the cleaner wax maybe once or twice to see if that is all you need to get the shine back! if not then you will need to get more aggressive that's when the compound would be your next step! Good luck let me know how it turned out. If you run into a problem PM me I might have the answer for you. I have completed 10 boats total refurbish, been down a lot of these roads. FISHMAN

I'll give it a try. Like I said it isn't real bad just a little dull. Thanks for the help!
