<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>'Getting close to re-launch, and I want to polish
the hull, which is not painted. Yard wants to charge around $250-and they do
great work- but I think I can do this one myself.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a Craftsman random-orbital polisher/buffer
that I think will do the job. What should I clean the hull with and what
kind of rubbing compound/fiberglass polish does the group recommend. The hull is
unpainted, and looks in good shape. There is some grime and a slight oxidation
build up--when I run my hand over the gelcoat I get a little white powdery
residue.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also how long will this take? And is it worth the
self effort or the $250?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks in advance;</FONT></DIV>
