Question on polishing waxing
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.

That sounds interesting. Got any pics?

I thought about that but there isn’t anything to have the ladder grab on the deck. I have been thinking about fashioning a rope ladder that I hang from the top section of the windshield with a couple of u-shaped handles. Just have to get up about 2 feet. The key is to not break the windows or scratch them.
