    Scratch removal?

    I have a 10-12 inch scratch on the top cap (courtesy of a tall metal dock and some weekend water skiers) I can feel it with my fingernail. Wondering if you guys can suggest a polish or compound or other idea that I could try?

    If the scratch is not down into the polyflake, you can buy some clear gel from Ranger and apply a very tiny amount. Cover the wet gel with clear packing tape and let it harden. Then, you can LIGHTLY sand it down. Go to the Ranger Forum and look at the sticky on the top under Maintenance tips. A long time ago, I submitted a copy of the Ranger gelcoat repair instructions pamphlet that was posted there.

    Try Meguiar's PlastX with a buffing ball on a drill.

    These won't fix the scratch but will prevent future ones. I always use them when tying to docks and never a scratch to the glass or rubrail. http://www.academy.com/webapp/wcs/st...yABEgLHI_D_BwE
