I wet sanded my boat last season.  Started with 800, then 1000, 1500, 2000.  Then used a $30 autozone polisher.  used Meguires rv/boat High gloss polish and then the liquid wax.

wish i would have used the rubbing compound to get more of the fine scratches out.


Pretty much what I did as well (Or, rather, made RJ do.... >:D) But we were a little more agressive and started with 600, then two sessions of each 1000, 1500 and 2000. Then the rubbing compound with a buffer, then meguire's oxidation remover and high polish. I like Mother's Carnuba wax better, however so that's what we used.

I know, huh? Poor thing! I haven't heard from Jana as to whether they got her up and running again or not?

I tried starting with 1000, but that was just too slow and didn't seem to be cutting very well. Granted, we were hand sanding the thing, not using a DA, but that old gel was HARD!

Mine was stiff when working it back and forth on the trailer.
Once I got it on the water and under power, it was amazing!
