Faded fibre glass/ Any suggestions
Submitted by TAPOUT on Fri, 2011-09-02 11:42
I have just bought a small fibre glass boat but the hull is faded and wanted any suggestions on how to clean it up. I dont expect it to be like new but just wanted to remove the stains on the fibreglass and shine it up a little.
Cheers

how much work do you want to do??
if you get some 1200 or 1600 wet and dry and a sanding block and lighly sand back the gel coat making sure it is even then wash the boat and polish using a polish recommended for after cutting back it will come up a treat! you will probably need to polish it again in about three months too! if you want to no the exact polish pm me and i will send you the details when i get home! i have done this with a few boats and it works a treat!
ALL FISHERMEN ARE LIARS EXCEPT YOU AND ME! AND IM NOT SO SURE ABOUT YOU!

good coat of vaseline rubbed
good coat of vaseline rubbed into the fibre glass also does it a treat really shines it up and puts like a wax coating on the fibre glass.
