my friend bought an old bass boat for 800 bucks and wanted me to buff it out for him. he says "its a little faded but shouldnt be a prob for you". i'll let the pics speak for themselves. if you have a myspace account you can see whats done so far http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.editAlbumPhotos&albumID=509164&MyToken=d3320d72-3dd9-47ee-906c-7dc063498e1e

havent worked on it in a couple weeks because the owner travels alot with his job. ive been using car brite's "workout" heavy compound and cutting pad. i started out with some junk compound from 3M he had and it didnt touch it. i got more done in 1 hour with my stuff than i did in 6 with his. i'll be glad when he gets back so he can finish this thing up.

I would have wet sanded that baby and saved more time, that thing had tons of "chalk" on it! I hope your getting paid for that work.

the owner wasnt originally wanting to put that much time into it. i had suggested wet sanding and he didnt go for it. and no i didnt get paid a dime other than the party favors the entire time we worked on it. after 3 days of messing with it, he finally decided it was as good as it was gonna get, and that was that. he sold it a week later for 3 times what he had in it though, so i guess we done an alright job.
the hell with that boat :rock:
