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

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 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. ;-)

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 that didn't work, then maybe sanding and painting is the way to go. If you sanded it and masked
it, I wonder what MAACO would charge to paint it. Might be worth taking a photo down to them to see
what they say. If it's sanded, primed, and painted, I'd think it might last a good while.

You can go all the way to 2000 grit but you need an air tool to wet
sand safely. You'll still need to buff it out and wax it even after
2000 grit.
