Clean Pontoons
Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and new to pontoon boat restorations. I purchased a 24' pontoon boat over the winter and am now in the process of rebuilding it. I purchased some Toon Brite to clean the pontoons and it left a white finish to it. I read that I need to polish them so I bought a cheap buffer from Wallyworld and tried to bring back a shine. I am also using star bright aluminum polish. I don't know if the buffer is crap or if I am doing something wrong, but I am not making any progress on restoring any kind of shine. Any and all advice would be GREATLY appreciated.
Re: Clean Pontoons
I'm sure there are many ways to get the shine on the pontoons.

Re: Clean Pontoons
I use Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish. It's available at any auto parts store. The trick is to work a VERY small area at a time. It takes me at least 4 hours per side to do my 20 footers. You can use paint thinner to remove the black residue from polishing if you want to save some time. Believe me....it's a task I dread every spring, but the results are worth it.
