[@renedelapaans647]

Grandpa boat restoration fund , we wait for it

[@GmanfromTexas]

Contribution to the grandpa series. Go get a colada.

[@madhatter2465]

That`s A Lot Of Work Man! I Don`t Want To Say I Told You So! Not Yet, With Your Schedule, I Don`t Know How You Do It? Wait For It!

[@MY-ml5rp]

Alfred, around truck stops they have chrome wheel polish shops and they do tanks, fuel tanks and they would love to do those pontoons. Nice job so far and get some semichrome polish at the bike shops.

[@elizcc]

Alfred, if I had not seen this with my eyes, I would not have thought that shine possible. And while we didn’t see the entire polishing process, you showed us enough to make us fully appreciate such labor-intensive work. Take a bow, Capitán Grandpa! Take a bow!

[@thatcrazylawnguy]

My pops (god rest his soul) would definitely be polishing that whole thing out and flying a big Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 on that.

[@artlife6210]

Looking killer man! make sure you clear those shiny toons Alfred, or theyll be dull again in a couple months...waterproof lacquer or 2k clear works great on mine they shine for abiut two years and then recoating is easy

[@Maintenance63]

Great job. Its a young mans job though. Very proud you and your friends, co-worker, and especially your family. Blue collar is my life. Godspeed

[@frankmarullo228]

That looks awesome my friend !!! I love long projects the before and after is like night and day ,THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA.......

[@patrickdiehl6813]

I wouldn't worry about that patch showing underneath, Fred probably won't even notice 😂. Toons are going to be awesome! I second the motion on clear coat, that will keep them nice and Shiny 👊

[@kathrynwoodard3933]

Good morning and lovely looking good 😊

[@anthonyethier3622]

alfred hire a polisher they have the compounds and the buffers ,,,they will shine like a diamond bro

[@WilliamJohnson-tx7no]

Coming along nicely, will be worth all the work in the end, enjoying the series

[@reddye2331]

Bro I learnt if I ever do it tht wit some Toons I have drop them and build a rotisserie. To many nooks and crannies. But looks good ALFRED

[@mikegalgano4567]

That tripoli really polished up great. Keep up the fantastic work .Can't wait to see it on the water with the Johnson!!!

[@ChillingwithDavidB]

Hell Bro, that is a lot of work. How long will it stay like that after being in the water. It's your boat, you do what you like. Fred, going to be admiring himself in the reflection 😊

[@rogers.2885]

Check into muriatic acid solution and a power washer. Scotch Guard pads in different grades ( auto body supply shop and on-line) with rubbing compound on a buffer an idea to!

[@chrisbsworld6634]

Love your channel bro! Love my Green Fred Black Point Marina hat!

[@kevintabeek7495]

Yo yo yo ALFRED that GRANDPA… TOON looks awesome keep going also it’s going to fly on the water

[@ROSINRANCHFL]

Looking amazing! Keep it going!

[@jamesmirgoli7947]

And I thought that I got sucked into projects!! Looking good so far!!

[@catmanrescue1]

scotch Bryte wheels at low rpm , you need a 4 in grinder with a variable rpm adjust ment . to fast is not good. they have coarse and fine gran like sand paper but just rated at fine or coarse.

[@catmanrescue1]

👍

[@catmanrescue1]

i try not to build a Maintenace trap so covering all options is smart. , thx for sharing.

[@lordTowle]

I hope you put some wood sealer on the bottom side of the wood. (?)

[@kirksardie4337]

Big Job !!!!

[@leonard7736]

Looking good Alfred, your going to blind everyone when that sun reflects off of it but looks awesome. A little safety tip, keep thar acetone can sealed, acetone has a high flash point, one spark is all it takes even in a well ventilated area. careful where you leave your rags also.

[@1999Valkyrie]

Nothing is too good for the Mobile Chit Show! Those 'toons are like mirrors!!

[@rogers.2885]

A keg of beer and a few pizzas, tell about 6-8 friends your having a party (bring your own buffer)

[@rdewilde100]

all i see is a piece of plywood? 😂😂😂 ❤

[@pamandjohnmc]

You're doing an awesome job Alfred!!

[@RatdogDRB]

Lovin' it! More of this series. I think I'd hit the bracketry and all of that type of stuff first. One "slip" with the sander could score up some nice polish work. Get that grandpa boat all polished up and it'll be faster than the sunk Verado fine tune video, with just that little 35hp on it. LOL After the "red", hit it with some Mother's Billet mag wheel polish.

[@jodywade5617]

It's awesome Sir, Fred will be proud the swim with her.😁

[@joryguinn2692]

Need a bucket pad like shoestring!!!

[@chrisbsworld6634]

Looks good bro!!! Maybe get your kid to help out to do the base sanding then you do the polishing

[@davidhumphries9182]

it looks great do not give up keep on it when you get the time keep working

[@Kiki-Kauai]

You need to change the thumbnail name to something like “Unbelievable results of DIY boat refurbish.” Pretty incredible transformation on those pontoons. It’s awesome. I’m so happy you are going the extra mile with it. Lots of good memories gonna happen on it. 🌺

[@williamking2249]

Awesome

[@micheletetley6142]

You can do it Alfred!! Don't give up!

[@nodayatthebeach]

It came out pissa but that's a lot of work. I don't know if it's worth it because how long will it last in saltwater?

[@donyoungblood9845]

Grandpa toon is looking good, excited to see the finished work. Thanks for sharing the redo with us!

[@mbonadio]

Wow! Love what you are doing and watching the transformation.

[@johnburrows3735]

Alfred, that is amazing, I had an old Weeres pontoon, it was 20 yrs old, however looked like new. The only part of the boat that looked old were the pontoons, I never knew that you could clean them up like that. Looks Great!

[@rogervaughter1344]

Thats over the top nice ❤

[@dennisakers9672]

Looking amazing Alf

[@DanMcCulloch-l1s]

3m Scotchbrite is the stuff to use on this joblots of different grits and lasts lots longer

[@salesman6961]

you need rugue polish bar and a big buffer pad. less work and will look alot better . it's used on semi chrome

[@HiggsBJ]

Looks great Alfred! The floating chit show headquarters.

[@lindawillets]

you got the boat for the family moments and memories of teaching little ones , and so you will live on into their children

[@BigJonLP]

Very nice 😊

[@shin11700]

Love the progress. Can’t wait to see where you go with it!

[@seymourrackoff]

Yes

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

To get into the crevices, use what's called a "sanding mop." These have an arbor and fit on a powered buffer. They're available in most all sandpaper grits...it will save you hours of handwork. Some are made of strips of sandpaper, and some are a material like Scotchbrite. They really work well and are worth the cost.

[@dansouchuck8918]

Looks awesome.. all that hard work and time polishing I'd add a 4" or 6" fascia board around the deck and add LED strip all the way around.. I like it👍

[@operasinger168]

Hey Alfred, hi from the UK. Total respect for the effort you are putting in on the pontoons. They look the biz gleaming like that. It looks like you are going to do the lot so PLEASE coat them with something to stop the tarnish coming back... it would break my heart to see them dull and lifeless in a few weeks, once the boat is back in the water. Your arms will be extra ripped when you're done..😂

[@donb4138]

Need to go to 2000 then some polish, not wax

[@zoomzoom3909]

I would paint them with good paint for corrosion

[@jorgegorina3039]

That polish is looking really really good grandpa! 🙌🏼

[@dianesaumure9729]

That looks amazing, , it's hard work, I agree, did you look up the easiest way on youtube

[@kathyhames2200]

Look at that man in the Mirror 😂

[@Marco1970_]

Holy Chit, that looks awesome😊

[@johnpoplawski9053]

Did you try polishing cream first or did you go right to use sandpaper

[@Paul-gc4kf]

Grandpa's boat looking good beware you may have a lot of honeys lol 😂😂😁

[@joryguinn2692]

Go go go

[@dirtybuzzard5977]

Looking good 👍 👍👍👍

[@jelly_fishing]

Looking good !!!

[@bassgirl4962]

Looking good! Did you seal the underside of the wood? That’s more important than the top side.

[@patrickpeterson500]

When you are ready finished polishing everything else yet to put a clear code on it as well what have been easier with the deck off sprayed everything down properly

[@brucepowell5612]

Do the work it looks amazing

[@chrisbible5629]

When you get all polished just don't get it wet. corrosion acts as a protector of the base metal. be careful on the type of bottom paint you use, make sure it is for aluminum.

[@joshhughes6316]

Like I said on your last took polish post. This is gonna take forever....... getting them all shined up is a huge job if your working on them all being the same.

[@joshhughes6316]

300 , 600, 1000, 2000

[@joshhughes6316]

You need to seal the bottom of that deck with spray sealer or it's gonna rot out really fast. Use the undercoating spray for vehicles it works really good and is less expensive than most.

[@johnpoplawski9053]

You got the boat because it was cheap and I had a good running motor on

[@timmitchell8784]

That looks amazing

[@kenwenzel9040]

Wait for it. Wait for it. There it is, he is complaining again, it is a lot of work! It looks really nice Alfred. Keep up the fight. Really enjoy the show.

[@JosephMBoyer]

I would use a spinning wire brush wheel.. quicker... rub it down with mineral oil all done

[@JosephMBoyer]

looks great tho

[@DrJeffM]

man, you make me want to polish my toons. Great job

[@joryguinn2692]

Can’t stay ripped if your not putting in the work😊

[@mississippi4589]

👍🏽👍🏽

[@kingk13osideaudits70]

Looking awesome bubba

[@carl656]

What I learned is that I would rather have Alfred polish my pontoon lol.

[@lordTowle]

That's too much work for me, and I am a grandpa 😅

[@jamedina20]

Looking good buddy

[@ladislaoortiz8420]

Rule # 1 always wear safety glasses when grinding .!!!!

[@FFSkippy]

I think the polish job looks great so far. Now you need to enlist the kids to finish it up.

[@sebastianimages]

2000 grit before polish and it'll be a mirror. When you're done hit it with a good heavy coat of 2k clear. It will stop it from oxidizing again.

[@jonbarfield2828]

Damn bro looks great!

[@pattichambers5202]

Get Fred to help you 😂

[@mikenewton8017]

Looks good Alfred, but it's a fool's errand, been there done that! Keeping up with that finish after each use will be impossible. Good luck

[@jesvans]

your crazy

[@jonathankauffman3859]

Looks good bro

[@zoomzoom3909]

All them pits bro I would use a good primer and paint to save that metal

[@speedysmoke]

Fred will see his reflection in those toons 😅

[@user-ROBSTIME87121]

Hey Alfred, what if you used a polishing pad with polishing compound instead of sandpaper? Are you not messing with the integrity of the tubes when you're sanding the metal? I've done chrome old car pieces with the polishing compound and it brought back the shine without damaging the metal.

[@Leo-mt7qr]

It’s worth it brother! It’s not every worth paying someone to do it. It’s a ton of work to get it to shine then you’ll feel obligated to maintain the shine over the year. Put bottom paint and call it a day. Scrap the project and buy a running boat. You’ll be on the water asap. Besides, you can dedicate your time to something more worthy.

[@MikeMcclenithan]

Where is your eye protection Alfred?! Wait for it!😆

[@johnss449]

Looks good, but man, that's lots of work!

[@ryansatchell9994]

Alfred, it would be really nice with EVA foam flooring.

[@brienburke4382]

Hire that out. That is a lot of time.

[@tim5158]

You should have your wife finish up the polishing work, if she really loves you it will be done when you get back.

[@jesvans]

my neighbor has a boxer = yep, dumb
