a quick call to Bill,and he confirmed that the boat is Sandstone with red spears and tips,had time yest. to do a little cleanup,and she's gonna' come back just fine. once I figure out what I need,will be putting an order in with Bill for seat covers,new decals,etc.

tks., yep,the sandstone is kinda' growing on me,,but red accents are always good,
Looks Good!! Nice to see she is getting the love she deserves. Welcome to the Forum!! Lot's of helpful guys here. Thanks for sharing the pictures. What products are you using to bring the finish back? I need to some spring shinning here in about a month and am looking for the best products.

the seats in it now are kinda' beige/tan w/red,i'm going back with light gray instead of red carpet,Dub,I use a degreaser like oxyclean or mean green,to final wash any grit or grease from the gel,on the textured gel i use a scrub brush to get all the dirt out,then i compound with mcguires and a yellow pad,on slow speed,1000-1200rpm,just keep working wet compound into it til it starts to shine,then I soft towel the dried up swirls,and slowly add the mcguires flagship wax,with a white foam,or sheeps wool pad.the sheepswool works best for me. nice thing about doing ally's,is they don't have metal flake and 2 coats of clear peeling gel on 'em. they just seem to get chalky,if left alone like this one.they say woody's wax is best for the black textured dash areas. you can use 3m finesse it 2 compound also with their marine wax,collonite marine/aircraft wax is also very nice once you get her shiny again.
