No, not yet.

Guys, I have a question. My boat is in the water. I have compounded polished and waxed the lower hull (the hard part). Would like to get advise on how you compound and wax up front between the fly bridge window and the lower front window. Can’t crawl up and can’t hang from the fly bridge.

Typing this, it sounds like a silly question but would really like to hear how others do it. Thanks for the help.

The foam pads definitely work for compounding, but I like the wool ones. We use wool the most in the automotive industry and they seem to do the trick nicely. I always use a cleaning spur to help get a lot of the crap off. Last year I was running out of compound so I mixed 3M extra cut with Presta compound and LOVED the consistency of it. I never do more then one step with compound. Then wax. Turns out great.
