Yeah, I know. My lift did all kinds of squeaking last year. Happy to see they put new straps on this season. I believe those operators need to have a certification of sorts to operate those lifts. Always interesting to watch other boats getting lifted, just can't watch mine. Do you have your CMY compounded each year? If so, what product is used? Cooler needs a compound this year. 8-) er

I did a cleaning 2 years ago with medium grit 3M PERFECT IT. Wax and compound. Shines like you know what. Last year I did it with same 3M, just fine polishing compound. I swear by it.

Very impressive! I am going to suggest that product to the guy that does my boat. Is it messy to use? I would be doing it indoors, and the guy I rent from is VERY picky about the building floor. Thanks! 8-) er
