Hi guys, new to this forum, and new to fiberglass boat/ also new to Grady White boats, lol. I just picked up a 24' Offshore Pro, and would like to clean this corrosion off/ shine the metal up nice. This boat will be a fresh water boat from now on, and not see salt water. Any tips/ advise? Thanks!!
Not going to be perfect (or shiny where corrosion/pitting is prevalent) again. Best bet is bronze wool and woody wax. Never gonna be right again, but should be able to improve on it a little with elbow grease.
It will look better after Woddy Wax but as stated, it will still be pitted. Note that Woody Wax should be left on for up to a day or more for heavily corroded metal.Try it left on for an hour or so to start.
I would hit the corroded areas with Corrosion-X and let it sit overnight. Wipe off the excess and polish the meta with Flitz. You will never remove the corrosion stains but you can stop them from getting worse.
Did the same as what Doc has recommended on mine. Not perfect but I can live with it. Previous life all saltwater, new life is freshwater with an occasional salt. Flitz and fine bronze wool does wonders.
