Need your help again.

Today I had time to clean my new (used) Hobie. So far everything was ok.
What I miss is the white, bright, shiny look of new gelcoat. I mean the Gelcoat of my Hobie is actually in pretty good condition, but not like new.

I searched in this Forum and found several threads about polishing:

For example: http://www.hobiecat.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=4640&highlight=polish

What would you recommend to use to make it nicer?
And what can I expect of it, improvement?

Thanks a lot.
Chriss

I don't like to use wax. I use a teflon polish available from West Marine. It gives good shine and is as slick as a babys bottom. Won't bead water and slow you down like wax will.

and Scottish - a real bad mix :wink:

Do what ncmbm suggested - the West Marine stuff is GREAT!
