when I first purchased my boat , I had the hull /deck polished and waxed . It was kind of expensive but it looked nice afterwards and added some slip appeal for me in terms of pride of new ownership.
The detailer reminded me that it’s been a year and was wondering if I’d like to have it done again . The process takes him two days working alone . I’m contemplating whether I should do this myself or have it done . Honestly, I prefer other boat projects, so it’s really just a matter of saving money . I could probably buy a small inflatable tender at WM for the cost of the job . Does anyone polish / wax their boat on a regular basis ? Have you compared time / effort to do yourself vs pay someone? I don’t have a power buffer , so I’d have to buy one and any adapter cables needed to power it from the slip shore power outlet . I’m guessing I still need a dingy to do parts of the hull from the water .
