[QUOTE="Scott Mac, post: 291781, member: 10360"] I used a course wire cup (5") on a 7" electric grinder. This old girl had 48 years of oxidation on her. I plan to leave the nose and bottom bare as I will be pulling it up on shore sometimes. That is when the docks are out at the local boat ramps. I have hand sanded the nose starting with 150 and will go up until I get the finish I like or I lose patience whichever comes first. At that time I will hit it with some aluminum mag cleaner then wax the crap out of it. It will oxidize over time but I hope once a year scrubbing and polish will keep it looking good. We will see.
