Lots more work than painting it but this hull was in such nice shape to me it was worth trying to save the gelcoat vs painting
4 on it last two nights sanding the port side. going a little more aggressive on the port side to see what it produces. stay tuned

Have you ever use this product Aqua Buff? Go with 1000 then 2000 you will be amazed at the results trust me, I did very little sanding if any during my restoration with a cheap buffer from Harbor Freight.

Looks great

Were going to 1500 (maybe 2000) then a once over with a heavy duty compound, then Woody's Ultra Gloss fiberglass restoring compound and a coat of Colinites fleetwax and wash it only with Oarpine w/wax.
Good for the season and then some

Have 3 of them on the port side of the hull this evening @ 800 now, hope for the once over with compound by the end of tonight
