Hey all, so yesterday I felt it was time to clean up the hull so I got some 3M rubbing compound and some wax then went to work. 4 hours later I had one side on our 36 done with 3 steps, rubbing compound, polisher and wax, though I'm pretty happy with it I'll be skipping polishing on the other side.
Now I need to do the other side that's not facing the dock. I could turn the boat but I wonder if it would be easier to use the dinghy and scoot along side. Having to constantly move the bow, mid, rear sections towards the dock was tricky so using dinghy would follow the shape better but will it be stable enough? also the dock is considerably higher and getting to the lower part of the hull was difficult, again using a dinghy I think would get me lower.
Anyone have a good experience using the dinghy to wax? If so how's a good idea to tie up to the mother ship so you can move easy....
One great tip I found online was to use a bungee cord from lifeline to buffer, this was AWESOME as it took the weight of the machine off and was a security device from it falling in the water which retracts when shortened. I'd definitely recommend this, also the rubbing compound is truly amazing at removing any stains.
Cheers!
