When I bought my last boat, 18' Bahner open bow, it was pretty well oxidized. The whole top looked almost white instead of it's black, red, and orange. It took me every bit of 60 hrs of color sanding and polishing to get it looking really good. It's very time consuming but the results are well worth it.
BTW, if you use 320, be very careful on any edge as it may cut through the gel pretty quick.

It's working! I can't believe how bad it was... it looks freakin' awsome when it's actually white like it's supposed to be. Darn near complete with the removal part (320 and 600 grit stages)... almost to the "make it shiny again" stages.

Now on to the trailer.... anyone know what it costs to have a trailer blasted and sprayed? How about powder coated?
