couple days ago i decided to try and get the baked in Dirt off the floor of the Sanger i bought from AZ ... the dirt didnt wash off or scrub off i had to use steel wool for hours to get the floor clean ... problem now is its a Dull polish look on it and was wondering what i can use to make it shine back up .. im not very up to beat with Fiberglass care n maintence so any help would be appreciated .. this isnt a Show boat or anything i just want to make it look better then it does before i start assembly on the boat .. thanks in advance guys

Resin Is Cool It'll Be Shiney. The Westsystems Stuff Is Tintable. Think I'm Goin Blue.

If the original flowcoat is still there, and free of cracks don't put anything over it. Just sand and buff it. You could sand it with 600 on a D/A, then and buff it out and it will look great.
If the surface is damaged, the you could sand it with 80 or 220 and recoat it with West System Epoxy. Use their foam rollers and fine brushes to "roll and tip" it and it will flow out very nicely. Or you can sand it and spray DuraTec or Prestec over it......

try dupont polishing compound with a few drips of water and a polishing wheel on a small drill if your shoulder hurts, might take a while though, Paul
