The white parts are fine, it`s just the red parts that have SEVERE oxidization. Have you tried 'Finess It' or another oxidation remover on the bad part? |

If the coating is intact I would probably just buff the pink and protect it with wax or whatever and be good with it... |

It's ready for more water! Thanks, and you're right. It's back at the Quantico Marina now, all prettied up. Soon as we get back from Alaska it'll be out on the water! |
