    light oxidation / best product?

    i used maguires oxidation remover with a 2000 rpm grinder buffer with a terry cloth pad to bring out my brown metal flake and gel coat. mine was about as sun baked as they get and it came out brilliant. i also used maguires boat polish and uv wax after i was done.

    cooling

    is there any other means of cooling a raised engine without using a nosecone. i have been told a nose cone isn't effective untill 75 + and don't want to risk losing speed by adding one.
