    Go to the Protec website
    Watch the video on wet sanding
    Order the product and buy the wet paper
    Get busy, have fun, and you're boat will look like new.
    DO NOT CLEAR COAT YOUR BOAT

    Boats do not have clear coat on them like cars. The shine comes for a clear coat of gel coat that is initially placed in the mold so it becomes the outer layer. It isn't sprayed on.
