You've done it more than I have, so I bow to the master  , after all I did call you about that Nuvite stuff technique  after I had tried all the rest (except that sutff in stick form - Tripoli?)

Well, I don't know about master but...... I have few bars of that old tripoly laying around here. I can bring it when I come and let you try it. If you think you like Nuvite now you'll REALLY like it after that smeary nasty tripoly mess shows up!

ahhh no thanks, I read the brochure online, and while I liked that one product I had used, nuvite does the job. Now that other product would work good on a newer toon that's fairly smooth, but so would any other aluminum polish.

scbadiver,, That is what I was talking about. I did the same thing and could not believe what came off those shiny toons

scba, you are so right. I put Sharkhide on my toons and was down to the end of one log when I thought, '...what if there's residue on there?' Well, my neighbor had some charcoal starter and I cleaned the end of that one toon with it. Wow. What a difference. I finished it up with a bottle of alcohol I had in the locker. Needless to say, I'm not real happy with my polishing job. Streaks, dull spots, etc. except for the end of one toon.

Thats ok Judge, I'm sure nobody will notice on the water. I am sure it will look great! And, think how easy it will be next time.

Well, I've lerned one thing for sure, and that's to use Nuvite instead of all the stuff I tried. I told myself I'd never try to polish them again but I'm already thinking about it. I think my own mistakes made it a lot harder than it should have been. Oh well, polishing on a toon beats work.
