Polishing the hull

[Nick Hearne]

Thought I would give the hull a polish yesterday, as it is going to be on a mooring for 5 to 6 weeks I used Harken McLube HullKote Speed Polish as is says it should help reduce growth!
I normally don marks and snorkel once a fortnight to scrub her bottom, hoping this might make a difference

Looks good I wish I had a garage like that rather than spending a weekend crawling under the trailer and balancing the boat off the trailer to get under the rollers!!!

I wish I had this at home too, it's my works workshop 5 miles down the road!
Normally work on the do at is done on the drive at home too

Used oxalic acid on it before polishing, recon I have removed my finger prints as well as yellow stains

- Was wondering how long did the speed polish last for, thinking of doing mine as do not want to antiffoul !!

Looks amazing - top job!!

I'm thinking about using oxyllic acid on my non skid deck, unsure about how careful I need to be with the stainless steel fixings etc? is it straight forward enough? Spray on/hose off?

cheers!
