Instructions on buffing and restoring dull paint and gel coat
Always clean or wash down surfaces with Sea-Shield Boat Soap or other marine boat soap before buffing remove all dirt, dust and debris Dirt and other contaminants remaining on the surface when buffing will leave scratches.
All instructions listed will be in order of most severe to final polish then to the coating system. Determine which number to start from by the condition of the vessel surface. A small test patch is the best way of making this decision.
Sea Shield Heavy Cut #1
Using the Sea Shield White Wool Pad on a polisher (Makita 9270, Dewalt DW847/849, Festool Shinex Polisher, etc.) apply product and spread evenly, using the polishing pad, onto surface. Once the product is applied place buffer flat onto surface and start buffing at 1200-1800 RPM. Buff side to side and up and down with an even overlapping pressure and speed. UseDiagram #1for buffing pattern. Once heavy blemishes have been buffed out wipe down surface thoroughly removing all debris then proceed to step #5
Important:Do not buff using the edge of the buffer for overall buffing, it could cause damage to paint, instead make sure to run it flat against the surface as much as possible.
Important: Do not spread on an area greater than 3’x5’ (1mx1.5m) at a time and do not leave on any surface for more than a minute before polishing. This will help prevent drying out of the compound, an important point since once the compound has dried out it becomes ineffective at buffing.
Note:If this is to be the first step in the buffing process note that on oxidized surfaces the use of a white wool pad will not always be sufficient. In these cases it is recommended that the Sea Shield Rayon/Wool pad be used due to its increased ‘biting’ ability.
Note: Certain types of gelcoat and paint are more porous than others and under certain circumstances they might cause premature drying of the compound. In this situation it is recommended to use Sea Shield Buffing Lube. This lubricant can be mixed with the compound providing additional lubrication in order to effectively work the affected surface.
Sea Shield Swirl Remover #3
Using a Sea Shield Yellow Pad apply product to surface. A single thin line of product will spread 1foot (.3m) on either side. Turn the polisher rpm dial down to lowest setting and spread product with slow speed. Once the area has an even coating of product increase speed to 1200-1800 RPM and begin buffing. Buff surface until nearly all blemishes and heavier swirl marks have been removed. Once desired surface has been achieved wipe area and proceed to final finish polishing steps.
Note: The use of a Sea Shield White Wool Pad can be used with Swirl Remover #3 on surfaces that do not need the use of a compound but still need more bite than the Sea Shield Yellow Wool Pad provides. Additionally the White Wool Pad can be used as a finishing pad in lieu of the Yellow Pad providing better clarity on certain types of gelcoat and paint
