Wet sanding, compounding, polishing, glazing, waxing = sore elbows

The hull needed was in need of a good cleanup. I read the directions "Tips for a Great Buff Wax" from Maine Sails on Sailboatowners.com and bought all the supplies listed, including the Makita rotary buffer.

It took a lot of elbow grease and a full day of work, but the results are definitely worth it!

Looking dirty and tired

I did a test patch to see if it would make a big difference. Yup!
Shiny!
Before and after new decals

Can you tell which side has been wet sanded, compounded, polished and waxed? (Hint - port side)
