    Default She's Naked!

    Haha!!! I knew i could get you to click on this thread just because of the title!

    Anyway, my boat was in bad need of a full-on strip down and detail so here we go:

    Stripped all Gravity Games White Decals from the side and the transom.
    Wet-sanded her with 2000 grit sandpaper and a block on the sides.
    Used 3m Super Duty Compound with a wool pad on a Makita 6 speed buffer. (1500-2000 RPM Settings)
    Then Used 3m Finesse It 2. (Same 1500-2000 RPM Settings)
    Then Used 100% Carnabua Wax for protection.

    Here she is with all Gravity Games Graphics stripped, she's way naked now, what do you guys think???

    Thanks for the kind words! I did all the work myself. Took me a total of 3 days! It was well worth it, and pics on the water coming this weekend!

    Thanks, Yeah, I did a lot of research first and it seems like I used the "magic combination" of products.

    Nothing beats a clean boat... Nice work! I like her "classic" side better than the propaganda/decal look.

    I used to prefer the GG decals but I think I've turned the corner on that.... She looks great naked and you did use the "magic combination" to bring her back!
