I am a new member to the forums, I love boats I have a 1978 Trimate 2 that I restored. The only thing I have left is to figure out what I have to do to get rid of some minor oxidation. Any advise for me?

nu finish worked great on my boat if you have a orbital polisher, Also i have used penetrol you can find it at home depot it is just a petroleum distolate works wonders! Also extreme from turtle wax is good. Polish the boat before you wax it that way you dont trap all the contamination under wax! Hope this helps!

Skippy you can do a search on the forums for aqua buff. A bunch of us has used it along with water sanding and got good results.

Here's one of the links, that my boat before and after shots.
