He had two boats at the marina, one was done 10 yrs ago...the blue shone like a fresh wax job. Am attaching what her transom looks like at this time...
Looking good, on the right track for sure. I was at Essex a few years in a row and always walked over to Blue Heron and thought she needs a new fussy owner from AOG!.
Careful with "coatings" I have heard of some negative experiences. My blue was neglected too, and she has come back nicely with compound/polish/wax, gets better every season . In the beginning I was using 3M extra cut and finesse it. The last 2 seasons was this 3M compound, and then polish and wax.

The results speak for themselves. She's a 2000, mine since '07
