Jorgerivadeneira Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Was wondering if it was possible to polish an outboard with never dull. Seen a couple guys do it and it leaves everything shiny and bright; except the cowling ofcourse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuddyBottomBluz Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Never heard of it before, I know it will shine but I don't think it would protect it so waxing afterwards will still be in order. This coming from a guy who has a love/hate relationship with Never Dull. Was issued a can in Coast Guard boot camp back in "86", still have nightmares when I see a can, dang belt buckles!

HoneyB Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Your outboard is painted. There are about a million products for polishing and waxing paint. Not sure what never dull would have to offer over polish,wax,nanos. Silicones,pure wax, synthetic wax paste and liquid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulligan Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 If it is the same metal polish I'm thinking it is I would not use it on paint. Like a lot of metal polishes it has abrasives in it so it would be removing some paint with every use. I used Never Dull, the stuff in a tin can, when I had my old Triumph Bonneville and it worked great on the metal but used regular polish on the paint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some guy I know uses it religiously on his outboard, motor is 2007, and it looks brand new. He applies CLR before using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyB Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Ok.. I know a guy who used to spray his Allison Craft with armor all before he took it out because the boat was faded. Does not mean that’s the way I would take care of my boat. You could spray it down with 4D 40 and wipe it down if you want to. I bet it would shine like a new penny. I am not saying it is going to hurt your motor. I’m not saying do not use it. You asked if it were possible because you have seen guys do it. Well of corse it’s possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorgerivadeneira Posted March 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 I’ll be trying it out on Friday and I’ll let you all know how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyB Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 I was serious about the WD 40. you would likely get the same result as never dull and much eaiser to spray on wipe off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polliwog Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 If you want to try something other than wax get Black Magic super protectant. It is fantastic to put a non build up surface that beads up water like crazy. It is also great for any rubber or vinyl products. I put on a new car and was laughing because my car cover wouldn't stay put because the surface was so smooth and slick. I use it my outboards with VG results.

Attitudeindicator Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Never dull is for metal so I wouldn’t use it for your cowling. For the cowling use Collonite 845 insulator wax.. best looking and longest lasting wax I’ve used to date . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
