Title: Covered&Polished
Post by: prevostart on June 07, 2016, 12:51:27 pm
Finished the new Home for our coach, We poured 6- 1/2 inches of concrete and a metal cover, Then I got the buffer out and went to work, she has never had it so good.

Looks great (cover and polished Foretravel)! The cover will provide nice protection for your Foretravel!

Art,

Looks great.

As a curiosity, were you able to polish the gel coat enough to get rid of the ghosting from the original decals?

Don't forget, she's going to say, "Gee, Dad, I look SO Pretty, how about a cruise for me to show off?"  ^.^d

Beautiful Job (coach and cover)!  I have Coach Cover Envy!

Yes, "coach cover envy" — as well as the same question as Bill O.  We're about to start that process.

Thanks!

I am interested in how long it took you to really buff and polish the whole thing?  Did you do the roof, too?  Any tips to pass along?  Your hard work looks great!!

ME, TOO!!  :o

They both look great. I love the finish on the coach.

Art, a covered spot for your coach does both you and your coach a great service.  It is amazing to me how much cleaner it stays, how much cooler it stays (at least in the summer, not in the winter when it is -20°) and how easy it has become for us to be able to get ready to leave in a very short time.  Nice job.  Glad you didn't skimp on the concrete and room to work all around, even on the roof.  Wow!

Thanks' for the kind words, I removed the stripes 4 years ago, never had a great spot to work on it so polishing was about 50 percent, so I finished the rest last couple of days, In the direct sun light you can still make out were stripes were they use to be, It use to bother me, now it's shinny not so much.
It took me it least 20 or so hours to remove stripes and 1st buff, Foretravel uses really good gel-coat so it shined up well
