No worries but i still like to emphasize that the alakline washing is crucial to get a good result. I tried to use heavy cut compound first and it did not help much. The good result occured after the washing.

I used wool and heavy cut compound but still, as i say above, the alkaline wash is the thing. The oxidation will otherwise only clogg the wool pad and make no good result. remove oxidation, rubb hard and you will see a big difference.

Thank you Marco! As you say, pad selection is very important. It might be helpful if you were to post which pads you used at each stage just as an example...

The detergent brand is a swedish one and made by the company SGA that held the course. Main thing that it is alkaline. I suggest that you contact a car polish company and ask what they use. SGA in sweden is from the beginning a car polish product retailer for pros.
Let me get back to you about the pads. Ill try to fix a picture. |

The type is alkaline. Used by car recondition companies.

My light grey Hanse 400e (2006) is also quite dull and I have done the Abralon/Mirka process a couple of times. It takes several days to do it but the result is rewarding. The problem is that this is not a long lasting solution. Last spring the boat was shining beatyfully in April, but was again quite dull in August. Next time I will try alkaline washing first as Marco instructed. Heikki
