Putting painters tape on the fiberglass when polishing the belly band will save a good deal of clean up time.

Good idea. I usually polish the aluminum first, then wax the shell, so I don't worry about cleanup. If someone wanted to do only the band, the blue tape is a good idea. I do a lot of painting and find the tape expensive, so I'm known to recycle the tape…do a quarter or half way around, then recycle the tape for the rest of the polishing run.

I used a metal polish made by Turtle Wax. Did a great job of getting off the black oxidation, and the belly band looked great. I haven't done it in a while, and didn't think to put wax on top afterwards. Getting ready to store her for the winter, so one last wash and off she goes...Boo Hoo
