    Anybody got any tips on removing barnacles and waxing the bottom of my gheenoe for a slick finish?

    Link Brett posted pretty well sums it up.

    I have wet sanded with a DA and fine paper, then buffed to restore the original finish. Keep in mind that you may go through the gel coat if it is thin.
