Aqua Buff will do wonders to gel coat. If it is real bad you need to use Aqua Buff 1000 first, then use Aqua Buff 2000. If that doesn't fix the problem, you might have to use 600 grit wet sandpaper first, then do the above steps. With the Aqua Buff you will need to use an electric high speed polisher(not a random-orbital). If your problem is not too severe, I've had a lot of success just using the Aqua Buff 2000 right off the bat. Good luck!
I,m with Aqua on that one as well then a good coat of wax at the end of the process
By the time you buy all kinds of polishes and buffing compound and the time spent , add them all together and look at the cost !!
A repaint of the topside of the hull onyl will be far better than all the other things , plus in a few months the color differance will stand out again as the sun fades the polishs etc and you will always have that mark that wont go away !!
PAINT IT !!!:thumbsup:
I have the same problem on my boat the PO put an auburn sticker on the console . I waxed buffed wet sanded and I can still see it. I'm hoping with time it will fade out. Paint is a definate possibility.
Its a ageing process so it will always show as being differant no matter how good you think you have it matched , Either paint it or put vinyl stickers over it .Quote:
