Default Cleaning the hull

Coming late to this party, I wonder what is recommended for relatively
new awl-grip.

By relatively new, I mean older than 2 years, which is how long Flying
Pig has been ashore, at a minimum. That may be significant, as I see
that less than 2-year old gelcoat isn't a good candidate for this
product. FWIW, the stern and rubrail are both only 1 year old, but the
rest of it is probably 3-5 or maybe more old.

And, I'm wondering how much product would be needed to cover about
400SF or so...

Thanks for any intelligence on the matter. As we approach the time to
splash, with Lydia's mom available to help dress her out, this is now
on the radar...

Skip,

How is the older Awlgrip looking at this point?

Actually, the correct quote from "Walden" begins "I went to
the woods because..." Although its is fine to go to sea for
the same reasons.
