1. Cutting Compound

Purpose: Removes oxidation, scratches, and imperfections from fibreglass surfaces.

Instructions:

Surface Preparation:

• Wash and dry the boat surface thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.

Application:

• Apply a small amount of the cutting compound to a foam or wool pad.
• Attach the pad and start at a low speed if you are using a polishing machine. If working by hand, use overlapping circular motions.

Buffing:

• Work in small sections, using overlapping motions to ensure even coverage.
• Continue buffing until the compound is fully worked into the surface.

1. Finishing:

• Wipe off any residue with a clean microfiber cloth to reveal a smooth, prepped surface.

2. Polish

Purpose: Restores shine and prepare the surface for waxing.

Instructions:

Application:

• Apply a moderate amount of polish to a clean foam pad.
• Work in small sections, using a circular motion to distribute the polish evenly.

Buffing:

• Use a polishing machine or buff by hand until the surface becomes smooth and glossy.

1. Finishing:

• Wipe any excess polish with a clean microfiber cloth, preparing the surface for waxing.

3. Carnauba Wax

Purpose: Provides a protective, glossy finish to the fibreglass surface.

Instructions:

Application:

• Apply a thin, even layer of Carnauba wax using a clean applicator pad.
• Ensure complete coverage, but avoid applying too much wax at once.

Curing:

• Allow the wax to dry to a light haze. Depending on conditions, this typically takes a few minutes.

1. Buffing:

• Buff off the haze using a soft, clean microfiber cloth to reveal a glossy, protected finish.
• For optimal protection and shine, consider applying a second coat if needed.

General Tips:

• Surface Preparation: Always ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying each product to maximise effectiveness.
• Application: For best results, work in shaded areas to avoid the products drying too quickly and to ensure even application.
• Storage: To maintain their effectiveness and longevity, store all products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Pro Tips:

• For best results, ensure surfaces are cool to the touch and work in shaded areas to prevent the products from drying too quickly.

Use with a Rotary Buffer: To achieve optimal results, consider using a rotary buffer for each step to enhance the cutting, polishing, and waxing processes.
