My 96 nitro stays on lift all year at the lake , stern and motor looking faded bad.
Motor han a lot of the white crap on it and faded bad
first cleaned the white crap off with a toilet brush and Zapp hull cleaner it took it all off in time start with a dry motor.
Used a big buffer a sheepskin pad and 3M Perfect-It rubbing compound at medium speed, kept going over it till shiney took some time but its worth it
Finished it with 3M Perfect-It final glaze
it looks like a new motor.
Stern below cover faded bad
Started with wet 1500 then 2000 sandpaper then same rubbing compound and glaze amazing how it comes back to life, take it slow but the products really work
