Will acid washing pontoons leave a white finish?

I am trying to decide on do I want to acid wash my pontoons. In the pictures I have seen online the finishes seem white.
Here is my BIG question will they be white or have that Shinny new looks after a wash?

They will be more white than shiny. Only way to get the shiny look is to polish.

I have had mine acid washed, and Sharkhided......

Definitely on the white side, NOT shiny. As stated above, you need to polish them. However, the whitish finish is clean, super clean. Gets rid of all the black, uneven splotchy look.
