A new toy to play with!

What a difference a day makes. Sunny but cold and perfect for polishing the boat. Two years ago Ian bought a battery operated buffer to create a better shine after applying the polish. He stored it in the engine compartment near to the exhaust. We thought no more about it until Ian decided to try it out about a month later. When he removed it from storage he was horrified to see that part of the polystyrene had melted with the heat from the exhaust. Since then he has been looking for the same type of polystyrene to replace it and then....  there, in the lads skip, was just what he had been looking for. So now we have a great new toy that takes the hard work from polishing the cabin sides. We also bought a product called Miracle Wax polish from the IWA festival back in July. I must say it works a treat. Apparently it is specially formulated for the marine and caravan industry.

 We had always used car polish ( Mer ) in the past but I was never really happy with the finish. I'm very happy with this product. So we just have the other side to do now. That will have to wait until we are on the move again and until we find a suitable mooring.

Nice and shinny. Even the cars are reflected in it!
