| Post subject: | Refinish Getaway hulls? |
I did some searching on removing scratches from the Wave/Getaway hulls on the forum. It seems some recommend heat, followed by 600 grit wet sandpaper and then a buffer? When the boat was shrink wrapped last winter, it looks like they attempted to clean the hulls with something abrasive. The nice shine is dull and there are quite a few surface scratches. I want to do everything I can to bring them back to new condition. (the boat is only 3 years old) I am fairly good with a random orbital buffer and can detail auto paint so the buffing part should not be too complicated if I can get some solid recommendations on what product and pad to use for the final buff. And, suggestions on the sanding process. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Bill |

Could heating the cross linked polyethelene make it brittle? I've buffed out a black spot created from the grommet on my tarp rubbing o the hull, this did not require sanding, hand buffing. |
