Polishing Out My OEM Swirls

[Ozark]

My 2021 195S came from the factory with a decent amount of swirling in the gelcoat. Harbor Freight is having a spring sale this weekend so I picked up the Bauer 20mm long throw polisher and the yellow finishing pad. Paired with Meguiars M205, the swirls melted away with little effort. Clean up is also a breeze. I highly recommend this combo. Next up is a fresh couple coats of Rejex.

Great job. The color really pops. I have the same color.

Just finished up doing the same on my 2013! This was my first time trying the Harbor Freight pads but I was pleasantly surprised. I did 99% of the boat with the yellow pad and M205, but had a few heavier oxidized spots that needed the green pad and M105 first. I have some paint correction experience on cars but found the boat to be significantly easier.
