Trusty sealey polisher, and the polish designed for the hard paint on Audi and Mercedes cars.
Use the course if you have to, then use fine all over. These things break down and get finer as you polish by machine and don't work as well by hand.
Finished with a cheap polymer glaze from Halfords - turtle wax I think.
The boat is basically new and not chalky, but with some fender damage causing matt patches. Here's a before and after of the worst bit, including a scratch - you'll have to ask Jez about that......

there's a bit of a few there that's why I was unspecific. The majority was menzerna which is what I use on my boat, but I was running short so had some of the G3 bought locally which is why you can see the pot in the picture!

Nice silver merc,
One problem ? the boat is out of the water and temp is around 32C?
Should it not be done later?
Time to try and get it dirty quick..

Need to polish it some more - that's my 7 series not a merc!
Jez's boat in on 8th.
My boat is in the west country at the mo, I rejoin it tomorrow and my wife joins us on the 8th.
The good weather is therefore bound to end on the 8th........

Oh they're bomb trolleys - intresting, I wondered what they were.
When you're looking up at the rubrail holding a polisher and walk into the flipping thing hard they do get called something else.
