    Default started buffing my saltare today

    So i thought i was gonna have to wetsand the old girl but after using a 9 inch buffing wheel on a grinder and some heavy duty rubbing compound i was pleased to discover that she is blue and not a chalky baby blue. so far i have only done from the rub rail to the bottom of the blue gel coat and after 6 hrs i was already through the glaze part. as soon as i can pull her out of the shop i'll post outside pictures. If i pull her out to soon i'll be to tempted to get in her and that will just get mud everywhere.
