If your currently don't look like Popeye, you will be when you're done with this procedure. RumRunner had the same proplem with her otherwise gorgeous hull this spring after having much work done to her bottom. I used a three step procedure using McGuire's products. I started off with the #49, heavy duty oxidation remover with a wool superbuff compound pad on a 1/2" electric variable speed drill. After that I used #45 and then finished off with #56 which is almost pure carnuba wax. She looks great six months later. The trick is to be sure to use the oxidation remover (I used it twice) to get rid of the white stuff and be sure to follow thru with all three steps. I wasn't kidding about looking like Popeye when you're done, this is really hard on the arms, especially near the bow where you are holding the drill at or above you eye level. Good luck and have plenty of rum on hand for the pain. I am available for any further questions regarding this procedure as I am a certified sore arm professional.
