Matching the ideal polisher pad to the task at hand

Pro boat detailers know that letting a polisher do the hard work not only saves time but reduces aches and pains at the end of the day. They also know that choosing the right attachment pad makes a big difference in the result. Shurhold, leader in professional-grade marine detailing supplies, offers a Clean-N-Simple Tip to help DIY boat owners match the ideal pad to the task at hand.

Shurhold’s premium detailing pads fit a wide range of 165mm orbital polishers, but few match their own Dual Action Polisher. Easy to use, the six-speed machine is powerful, yet virtually eliminates the possibility of burning the surface or creating swirls when working on challenging jobs.

For cleaning, nothing beats a Dual Action Scrubber Pad. Shurhold offers three stiffnesses for specific tasks. The white version is ideal for teak and other soft, delicate materials. Blue is for cleaning coarser finishes. Reserved for the most stubborn jobs, the brown model is so abrasive, it will strip bottom paint — but leave the gelcoat unharmed.

Another choice for all-purpose cleaning is one of Shurhold’s DAP Scrub Brushes. The Soft model is ideal for cleaning carpets, while the Medium version works perfectly on non-skid. To clean years of dirty grime off a boat, the Stiff brush makes light work of a back-breaking job.

When the pros need to remove oxidation from a hull, they reach for a Buff Magic Compounding Pad. Offered in a long-lasting 100% twisted wool and a lightweight foam version, both are designed to remove chalking and minor imperfections from the surface to reveal the boat’s deep, rich original color.

The Shurhold Pro Polisher Pad is ideal for applying a layer of Pro Polish or similar non-aggregate wax. To remove any leftover product, the Brite Bonnet Final Polish Pad is a lot faster and easier than using a microfiber towel and adds the final finishing touch.
