One to thoroughly clean the hull (we tried
their prep material but it didn't work worth a damn)


I found that for very heavily oxidized and faded areas I needed to use wet
and dry sandpaper, followed by the prep material scrubbed with a Scotch type
pad on a small orbital sander. Hand scrubbing just didn't do the job of
getting the color back.


For cleaning and prep, we used Scotchbrite pads and one of those heavy duty
degreasers full strength from a spray bottle, followed with lots of fresh
water rinse. When done, the water "sheeted" on the entire hull, no beads at
all. Everything bought at Home Depot. I am really surprised and pleased at
how well the colored bootstripe and sheer stripe came out. They were totally
oxidized. As for the cream-colored hull itself, it looks very good. You can
see your face in it.
