    how many times can you wet sand? 1990 Ranger

    I know it probably depends on shape of the gel coat and so on , it is a 1990 Ranger but i noticed a few places on my top cap that are starting to show some more of the haze still shiny just to me looks like it did before I wet sanded about 6 yrs ago or so and want to do it again this fall when the weather breaks should that be a problem??

    only once,but that was in 2011 all the way up to 2000 grit started at 800 and have been using protec ever since , so this is the 6th year probably might do it in the fall and only with higher grit paper no need to start as low is that a correct assumption?

    I'm seeing spots of oxidation again in certain areas and only in certain sunlight conditions, so I figured in the fall I would wash it down with dawn and then try a light wet sand in those areas or really go over everything with a light sand and then seal again and hope for the best. Would that be ok to try after the light sand I have the nu-paint by protec to try also then seal it up good

    If it's only a light haze. I would just buff it with your high speed buffer with wool pad and 3M rubbing compound, then buff again with the Protec Nupaint.

    Buff in the Nu Paint before you wet sand. If it s light oxidation the Nu Paint will remove it. Thanks for using Pro-Tec!
