Is it shiny enough?

Well this is what I have been working on for the past week or so. I been telling TheNerd its going to be shinier than his. :devil:

I used some AB 2000 on the top which just didn't do it for me. I ended up hitting it with some Meguiars polish and then Flagship.


The images you are about to see may make you jealous. :p

Yeah, no chit. Your making me fell guilty now. That looks fantastic. I think it's time to break out the 1500.
 
That thing is shining like "frosting on your pumpkin when its time for peter dunkin" (JRM Sr. 1994)

Sorry if you dont get it, do some thinkin.
 
Thanks guys!

The Meguiars polish made it look good. I found out that with the AquaBuff 2000, you have to let it wear down and thin it out alot to get a real nice polish. This is messy as hell.
 
so far i have about 6 hours in the deck of mine and it doesn't look like that! i went wet sand 800, AB1000, AB2000, mequires marine color restorer, rain dance w/ carnuba! looks ten times better but not quit like that! i guess it will be ok for this season:thumb: now the next time i strip the boat of the hardware i will be doing the rest of it- man i dread that day:shakehead:
 
Looks great Matt!!! I did the same thing earlier this year, of course mine is black. I used similar products w/ great results.:thumb:
