All,
I have a 2005 26M with a Blue Hull.
The colour has now begun to fade and is now very patchy in apperance, and to be honest looks awful. I have polished with a fibreglass polish with very little effect.
Has anyone a had a similar experince ?

Re: Blue Hull !
BEFORE: (Nov. 8, 2008) Day I bought this Mac at a NJ marina.
AFTER: (May 12, 2009 ) 1st Launch, it's the same boat, I live in PA. 
I applied Zymol Wax on the Blue Hull & Black Bands only, 2 coats, by hand & hand buffed. I used Aluma Guard on all of the SS and on the Mast.
You should post pic's so we can see how bad your Mac is.

Re: Blue Hull !
Is the Zymol wax the best one to use in a White hull to leave it shinny like yours ?

Re: Blue Hull !
I would think so, why not ? Give it a try...it'll also make your car, van, motorcycle and RV look great too ! If you have HEAVY oxidation you might have to apply another product first and then the Zymol. As you can see from the pic's I posted that my Mac was MEDIUM to HEAVY oxidized. I only used the Zymol plus a lot of elbow grease, you'll rub your Cannoli's off but it's worth it.elvatoli wrote:Is the Zymol wax the best one to use in a White hull to leave it shinny like yours ?

Re: Blue Hull !
I'm going to try the Nufinish($6.75) because they say that it is made for Fiberglass also.
I'll post the results.
But I would try rubbing compound first to try to erase all of the old name I just removed.

Re: Blue Hull !
I just finished polishing my Blue hull,white areas and black stripes. I used 3m marine rubbing compound for boats for heavy oxidized or scratched surfaces 17$ and Meguires Step 2 deep crystal system polish 15$ . I am satisfied with the results.
