[C320-list] Bottom Paint Dust

[Jon Vez]

I second this advertisement....no combination works better in my opinion. I
need to start getting commission from Collinite--3 boats switched this
season after seeing what my boat looks like after 12 seasons....The paste is
definitely superior to the liquid for the wax....

If you haven't tried it,  3M Collinite 925 fiberglass cleaner is the best
product I've ever used.  Takes all that overspray off, along with heel
marks, stains etc.  (It slices and dices too. :)

Dry cloth application,  wipe on wipe off.  I do the whole hull each year
followed by a coat of Fleetwax and it looks like new and lasts a full
season.

I had a similar experience when some black overspray from a project quite a
ways away that landed on several boats, including ours, when they were dew
covered. Dew dried and the stains stayed. The best remover was the DEF
orange industrial grease cutter that I think I got at Home Depot. Got it all
off with some work. Second best was Black Streak Remover (I think Meguires).
Several cleaner waxes didn't work at all. Good luck.

Help!!!   I just discovered that the guy parked next to me in the yard had
sanded off about 30 years of blue bottom paint, and our 2001 320 is covered
in blue dust.  It is in every nook and cranny.  I hosed off the surface
dust, but some surfaces appear to be stained.  I thought I would check in
with this group before I do anything stupid.  



We bought this boat at the tail end of last season and she was in MINT
condition.   Now she has a blue tint.   


And yes, the guy in the yard..... he is one of our dock mates and a
friend.   I want to smack him upside the head, but the friendship shall
remain.


What do you suggest????
