Buff 'n Wax

Andy Casey - Tuesday, May 31, 2011

Contrary to what some might tell you, Awlgrip CAN be buffed. Awlgrip is a hard polyurethane and will leave some swirl marks if buffed incorrectly. Many of today's polishing systems have multiple steps that make it possible to polish them out using foam pads and very small particle polishes. But I'll be honest, on this 8 year old paint, I'm just making it shine for one more year. There will be fresh paint for 2012 on this boat.
