What is the general condition of your hull and deck? Is it just Fading or do you, have,you made alot of repairs. Most peole try to save the original gel coat as long as possible, till its to banged up, and then go for paint.

If you are trying to get the shine back, you can try wet sanding it. I think I started with 800 or 1000 grit I think and kept going up to 2000 or so. But it didn't last too long.

I too got tired of waxing it to just make it look "okay" so I decided to go for paint this year. The guy that painted it said it will NEVER fade.(with proper care, of course) :D

Do a search for paint and you will see several past posts on this. Good luck!

I have a really great painter at the place where my office is. I was alway stuck on Sterling as it does not fade and is very easy to repair. His supplier can in a few weeks ago and is saying the new Imron is the one to beat. I would do some asking around, and forget using Awlgrip it is still hard to repair.
