Those contemplating acid washing their toons, beware of the bad trip! Like several others on this board, I had my toons acid washed in an effort to keep them uniform in appearance after sitting in the lake for three months last year. While my dealer assured me that they had the best product around, in fact it turned out to be a bad acid trip right out of the 70's. As you can readily see, it started out with an apparent over-spray from another job. To remedy the situation, they now have removed the finish from my anodized rub rail and fencing on one side of my boat. Add to that the blotchy appearance of my toons, and I have a real mess on my hands. My dealer has taken responsibility for the damage and has verbally indicated that they will take care of me at the end of the season. What that exactly means is not known at this time but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt at this point. Personally, I think she will have to go back to the factory to have the rub rail and fencing removed and replaced and then taken somewhere to have the toons polished. In any case, I'm thinking of thousands of dollars of damage!
