A polished duck hunting boat would probably be counterproductive but I like the results of this guy's detail. If I can stop fishing long enough I may see how Mother's Aluminum polish works on my Lowe.

This stuff will do the job too....

very, very, very impressive polish job!!!!!

That does look nice. I would imagine it would cause a lot of glare on the water. I hope the inside is not like that. Talk about a sun burn.

It would be a shame to launch it and get it all wet!

Holy elbow grease, batman!!

My arms hurt just looking at that!

What did you use to get the blue color on the sides? 8-)

Looks awsome! I did mine last year w/ Mother's Polish. It was too shiney for our super clear water though.

Man, what a shine ! I really love me some Mother's but wouldn't it take quite a bit for a boat. I've used it on my '67 Chevy truck wheels, bumpers and other chrome. I haven't found anything better...

The detailing on the edges and such is the hardest part.

Don't put it in the water.

I looks like a chrome Rat-L-Trap!

Bass will hit it and sink it.

But nice job with the shine!!!!

Tin,

 Power Tool junky that I am and never thought of the polisher :-[...

OMG I HAVE TO GET SOME FOR MY TIN BOAT. DO YOU HAVE ANY BEFORE PICS

I used the mothers powerball on my snowmobile tunnel and that made it really quick to get a shine close to that. Once you get the crud off with the powerball, polishing by hand is much easier to get the shine like that.

No mater what I tried it was hard, we had to wet sand it to get the crud off and talk about the black stuff coming off, here is a pic with the crud

I used something besides mothers I can't remember the name. I think after I am done puting in the new carpet I will try some mothers.
