Very nice! Where do I park my Boat for a wax job???

At your local Maaco shop

Can they buff out the faded gelcoat..... The guy who sold me the Boat
4 years ago, listed the color as " brown ". It's SUPPOSED to be " Snap-
On Toolbox Red ".....lol. All top deck surfaces are a kind of " Salmon
" color......

People up here want 20 bucks a foot....... If I get this
right....that's about $400.00

Maybe you should paint it.

A friend suggested that, but what would you use? Its fiberglass, and
I've been told once you DO paint it, it`ll flake after a few years and
you`ll be painting it again, and again. The white parts are fine, it`s
just the red parts that have SEVERE oxidization.

Then just paint the red part with awlgrip.

I wouldn't paint it until I'd tried to deoxidize the damn thing.


I have used the 3M Ultra Heavy Duty Rubbing Compound using a
machine.....it did very little.....

Im almost ready to " wet-sand " it with 1000 grit.


If you do the prep and masking, I'll bet Maaco will spray it for a song


GMTA - every time.
