I have a 1999 Logic and the finish on the hull has seen better days. It is faded and dull and I have been wanting to get it fixed up. I decided to give it a try today but wasn't all that impressed with the results.

I started sanding with 220, then moved up to 500, and then 1200 grit paper. I bought a 7" electric buffer from Harbor Frieght that goes up to 3500 rpms. I used a wool type pad and spent almost 3 hours buffing. The buffing did make the finish shine better than before, but it is not an even polish and the hull still looks pretty rough.

For any of you guys who have done this on an older boat, were my expectations too high or did I do something wrong? Should I spend more time using the buffer, try a different pad, or should it still look somewhat dull?
