And polishing myself today. I used two different products Chemical Guys spray on wax. I also used a new product called Torque. Both easy to apply. I had good luck with both. I deleted photos to free up space.

My boat sits in a wet slip I'll do this 3 or 4 times a year. So for a 2007 it still looks new. Such a harsh environment between the salt and the Sun if you don't stay with it your boat will get trashed in a few years.

What do you guys recommend for the aluminum on T-Top? Glen, yours is looking great! My boat was neglected I suspect for several years, at least 2 or 3, and I've compounded, polished and waxed the topsides to good results. I did it the old fashioned way 3M Heavy Cut compound, followed by 3M Finesse-It Glaze, which is a finer cut polish, then Meguiars Flagship Wax. I think I could use the spray on products for maintenance now that I've restored it...
I've used a metal polish on the T-Top posts, but there's some significant pitting that I'm wondering how to eliminate.
Thoughts anyone?

Woody's Wax on the aluminum My aluminum's pretty pitted from the previous owner also. I used Woody Wax but it didn't do much and only lasted a few weeks.

I get more than a few weeks out of it. It is super easy to apply esp if you use their little mitt. 10 min and I'm done. Not much will bring back badly pitted aluminum, other than sanding it down to try and restore it, but then the anodized layer is gone.

S Like everyone else I use Woody wax in the blue can it's for aluminum works really well used it from day one frequently that's why the T-top still looks new

Well to you and Richard , I'll buy my own ticket, no issues detailing your boats as long as I know we can get out and do some real good fishing. One item on my bucket list is to meet a lot of you guys and share some time fishing that would be awesome.

Sound like we need to plan a Florida East Coast Sailfish group fishing trip. Northern guys fly and southern guys drive. I can take a crew in my 2660.
