HOW TO POLISH A PONTOON BOAT!!

[@thefacelessman5725]

Great video! very informative to see this done this way step by step.ive been thinking to go this method using these products and after watching your video i believe its a good plan.thanks so much for making this.

[@SkillinTime]

No problem it's alot of work but I think it's worth it I'm glad the video helped I appreciate u watching if u have any questions don't be afraid to ask

[@Scavenger2012]

I've done this with the exact same products. The products are fantastic. SkillinTime is totally correct: It's ALOT of work! Mine didn't turn out as good as his did but that's on me. Because. It's ALOT of work! Take him seriously before tackling this. Did I mention it's LOTS of work. I spent 16 hours and they looked "good". I should have spent another day on them (would be a total of 3 days work, 9 hours each day).

Big improvement, ive been thinking of doing this, need to get more beer! Goodbjob thank you for sharing. Cheers

[@SkillinTime]

It is alot of beer job for sure and thanks for watching

Man this was a great video, BUT………. Turn the background music off!!! PLEASE!! I’m trying to hear what you are saying in the video, but all I can focus on is the crappy background music. Unnecessary! Otherwise, great video. I learned a lot. Thanks.

[@SkillinTime]

Thanks and yeah my bad about the music

[@nayefalkurahi3357]

nice brother im gonna be buying a pontoon soon

[@SkillinTime]

Thank u sir I love the pontoon plenty of room to walk around and has plenty of room to fish from

[@richerwin6397]

Excellent job, Grandma would be very pleased. And it's pronounced like, "zeffer".

[@SkillinTime]

Thank u sir yeah she saw the video and loves it wish my grandpa could have seen it…I was wondering how to correctly pronounce that lol

[@gillysguns9244]

Huge difference. Looking good!!!

[@hemi5.7villain]

That part it's all about being patient

[@SkillinTime]

Thanks it’s a lot of work but yeah gotta be very patient

[@timmyboylarsen6961]

Here's a tip for you, next time you clean the logs use zing in the blue bottle it's for aluminum. It's an acid that will take the green lake scum off and bring the logs back down to a raw clean silver color. You can get it at any marine supply store. It works fast without effort.

[@SkillinTime]

Nice I'll definitely pass that on would cut down some of the work thanks for the pointer 👍

[@timmyboylarsen6961]

@SkillinTime No problem, I work at American Marine Motorsports super center in northern Wisconsin. Part of my job is running the detail department. If you put that zing in a pump up weed spraying container set it on a fine mist start on the bottom and work your way up and along it evenly let it foam up then rinse it off. Repeat as needed, after rinsing take an old bath towel and dry the logs off and it will prevent the water from streaming down and streaking it. It's nasty stuff you don't want to breathe it or get it in you're eyes or on your skin.

[@bernieortigoza4698]

Did the sanding take away those scratches? Do you recommend sanding? Great job. Thank you

[@SkillinTime]

If u want it to not have scratches and be like a mirror yes do stages of sanding but me I figured it was going to get beat up anyway so I just did a stage of sanding then buffed so it does have some mild scratches

[@ccarmichael]

great job!

[@SkillinTime]

Thank u sir

[@manuelgonzalez9790]

how long did the mirror finish last?

[@SkillinTime]

Quite a while but the lake sure gets them dirty was still worth the work it still looks alot better then it did before I polished them

[@rzl07375]

What do you use clean your fence rail with on that toon?

[@SkillinTime]

Haven’t used anything on the rails yet mine are pretty clean so far but I will probably use an aluminum cleaner to wipe them down if they start to get some tarnish to them they will polish too but waaaay to much work for me lol

[@roscommonsoccer1322]

Where did you get your multi speed buffer and what brand and model is it?

[@SkillinTime]

Was something like this

[@timmyboylarsen6961]

Zing would have taken the logs down to a solid color. Just food for thought.

[@markgraves9429]

Damn it!! I just got all the supplies to start on mine. I'm not looking forward to the grind of it all. But with the results you achieved I will join the club. Did the Shark Hide hold the shine for a while? BTW good video.

[@SkillinTime]

I haven’t gotten to the shark hide part yet still gotta finish the other side cuz from what I saw u will want to do the shark hide in basically 12 foot sections my plan this week is to get the other side finished and shark hide on...from what I read it’s suppose to be pretty good stuff good luck on the job it’s a lot of work but like u said the results are worth it 👍I’ll post a video on the shark hide results btw

[@marksmith4539]

Just a suggestion, you are using way more compound than is necessary and always go in the opposite direction that the wheel is spinning with your compounds, usually bottom to top until no compound is visible, then on to next step.

[@SkillinTime]

Thanks for the tip

[@johnp8120]

I've watched other videos on this, and they all sanded with various grits of sandpaper, but you didnt sand, I'm confused now 🤔

[@SkillinTime]

In my video I said u can sand with different stages of sand paper if u want to remove the scratches and make it perfect and then said I'm not about to do all that work because it's an older boat and pretty beat up so I did sand on the big scratches and I did sand on the pontoons but I didn't go through stages.....if u want it like a mirror and perfect yes do the different stages of sanding before u polish sorry I didn't make that clear

[@johnp8120]

@@SkillinTime okay, thank you for your response

[@hemi5.7villain]

I'm going to get me a boat before I leave this 🌎 got to put in that elbow grease n

[@SkillinTime]

They are out there u can even snag up a fixer upper pretty cheap don’t take to much work to get them back to nice again

[@zachhenderson8800]

You put the wheel on back words still good job tho. Thos wheels are directional. Zephyr sticker and info OUT

[@SkillinTime]

@zachhenderson8800 hmm didn't even notice that might have made it alot easier thanks for the tip

[@dalephillips2593]

Music too loud ....can't hear half of your comments...

[@SkillinTime]

Yeah I know my bad

[@brianroy3213]

The music drowns out what you’re saying.

[@SkillinTime]

For the hundredth time I know and my bad didn't realize it was such a bother until after it was posted and everyone started saying so I don't put music in videos anymore because of this video

[@jeffwilliams840]

Liked the video, but the music is absolutely ANNOYING! I'd rather listen to wind noise and dogs barking than trying to hear what your saying over the music. It's fine when you're not talking. Love the finished product!

[@SkillinTime]

Yeah I heard this one a few times once again my bad didn't realize it was up so loud till I published it I stopped putting music in after all the complaints...and thanks

[@rancestahl4229]

Shut the music off

[@SkillinTime]

I know I know

[@ronnymcmurray2301]

Man, turn off the music,

[@SkillinTime]

@ronnymcmurray2301 the video was made like a year ago can't turn off the music...

[@565bruce]

Turn all that bullshit music off

[@SkillinTime]

Videos already been made....2 years ago the"bullshit music" can't be removed if you would read the comments I apologized for the music don't run music anymore.....for the hundredth time...

[@markhutchinson8474]

Horrible job

[@SkillinTime]

Hey thanks man haters gotta hate right

[@markhutchinson8474]

@@SkillinTime it's not that I run a metal polishing business all I do is show trucks and custom metal polishing you didn't sand anyting using paint strippers and absolute waste of time not to mention you're actually doing yourself more harm than good because you embed that chemical into the poor and you never remove it and you didn't start with a level surface you're never going to cheat a good shine unless your surface is properly prepped

[@SkillinTime]

@@markhutchinson8474I did sand both sides I had to in order to make the polishing easier now did I sand each and every single nook and cranny and do 5 stages of sanding hell no like I said in the video I was just trying to make it look better then it was its not a show boat its gonna get scratched up anyway its a boat and I followed the instructions of someone that actually does do this for a living and im quite happy with how it turned out vs how it looked but there's always someone out there that has to chime in and know it all well thanks for ur input but im good....here's an idea u have a channel buy u a pontoon sit out there for a week and sand it properly then another week or two polishing it and show us how u do it

[@markhutchinson8474]

@@SkillinTime nope it doesn't take a week if it takes you a week to do it then you definitely don't know what you're doing I can stand a 35 ft pontoon from 180 to 600 grit and less than one day Cut & color in 2 days I don't fuck around with little orbitals
