You are absolutely correct. I'm not sure where my brain was, Yamaha has always painted their machines. At least all of them that I've worked on, totally slipped my mind!
I was shocked, I'm not sure how good of an idea it is if the gelcoat was perfect, but on an old scaly beat up machine like this one it sure made it look a ton better!
I'm not sure how that would have changed, I think I've got everything set the same on this as I do on my other videos. Do you know where to find that setting?
@@trythistv I think youtube has changed it somehow. It seems like its just turned off for newer videos. It may be some attribute in the create video section.
@@trythistv Thats fantastic! That scale really welds itself to hulls. I like how you went with the buffer and not a scotchbrite pad first. Does it say on the bottle what to keep it away from?

Nice work and what a great solution! I could be wrong, but I think the SMC Yamahas including the venerable WR3 were all painted and not gel coated.

oxolic acid works pretty good also. very reasonably priced and powder form so very easy to store.
oh man, I'm gonna have to get some and try it! Thanks for the reccomendation!
Awesome trick, I have two new to me 94 VXR pro and 96 Wave Venture Yamahas to try this on!
I'm beyond impressed with how well it worked! If your machines sat in the water and got that nasty scum on them, this should take it off real nicely.
Looks better.

Hope its doing something to only the scale and not the hull.
I agree, it doesn't seem like it damaged the gelcoat at all, but it sure dissolved the scale.
