What is a good technique to bring a hull back life? Paint not gell coat! We have already tried wet sanding 600 and 1000, buffing and waxing. Anything else we should do to bring out the shine? :confused:
Thanks

600 is too rough. Use a minimum of 1200 than polish with a high speed polisher. If that doesn't work its time to respray. If there is no color variation you could spray clear gelcoat.

I always go to 1500 or 2000 Minimum! But be very careful nowdays to check and make sure that the sandpaper is ALL; CAMI (American) or P (Europe) do not mix sandpaper without the chart.
Example P 1500 would only be 800 in our grit size.
Again P 600 has a greater grit size than OUR 400.
There is the Japanese standard JIS also. Be careful you can waste a lot of time and valuable finish.
