    Restoring fade and gelcoat wear

    SO for any of you that read my former post, I went with the NITRO but now i hav a few questions. I am sure that this has been covered but for some reason when i search i get an error so i cant use the search feature (so i apologize for redundancy in advance). Has anyone used vertglass or poliglow if so how were the results. Second can you wet sand with 2k grit and buff out clear gel over metal flake? What compounds are reccomended. This boat is not totally faded but has a few usual spots for being 16 years old. Point me in a direction!!!!
    THANKS IN ADVANCE

    Re: Restoring fade and gelcoat wear (coloradoman25)

    i have never used either of the mentioned products....
    wet sanding can be done with 1000 grit , 1200 or 1500....i would use 1200 and buff it with a white compound (about all white compounds are 2000 grit ,red is 1500)

    I would pick out a small spot not to noticable and do a little spot before you tear after the entire boat.....
