After I'm done with the NT I am going to try the same products on my 20' Bayliner Trophy. Its white and from the early 90s but not as chalky as the NT. And thankfully no where near as big.I’ve used the Aqua Buff on an old blue hulled Bayliner and it really brought the color back.
I plan on using a better wax and a sealer in a comparison when I get the whole hull buffed out.You would be better off using a dedicated wax. Cleaner wax has grit in it, and the “2 in 1” waxes don’t last nearly as long as dedicated waxes. If you like Maguiar’s products, I suggest their Flagship Premium wax. If you aren’t picky about brands, Collinite 885 Fleetwax (comes in a tub) is the best that I know of and will last a year or more, about twice as long as a regular wax. You might get a couple months out of the cleaner wax.
Thanks cig
I'm going to be real careful with the shoulders because I have already had my right rotator sewn back together and in a sling for 6 weeks. I can feel the left one is not holding on by much and will be next under the knife. Most of that damage was done in the many years of going to the gym 5 days a week.

Sue, My wife has been loosely keeping track of my time working on the hull and she says I have over forty hours on just the starboard side. So I'm not sure a cordless would have done the trick for me so I bought two very inexpensive corded buffers. I bought one with all the accessories (full kit) and the same one without the accessories. I bought two because I thought I would use 1 for the 1000 grite compound and the other for the 2000 grit polish. Which has worked out pretty good. Also I thought one would probably burn out, but they are holding up very well. The buffers have 6 speeds to dail in the best speed for the compound. I have also used the buffer to apply the wax using one of the orange foam bonnets that came in the kit at a very low speed. Works great, so far.It looks fantastic. I need to do this too and have taken onboard all the advice. I love this forum. I was wondering what type of sander is best. I’d like a cordless one with a back up battery. Thanks. Sue
