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.

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...

Then just paint the red part with awlgrip.

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

I can't see any advantage to painting it... Just gonna' look like hell
and cause more work.

Anything that has red OXIDE color for a base is bound to oxidize. Paint
it blue. ;-)

Nice, John! 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!
