I had posted a thread a while back regarding my faded red stripe on my 2000 18 Classic. Rather than paint it, I decided to machine polish it with 3M Marine Polish/Gloss and Color Restorer. It came out great as it did in the past. Since it always faded, I decided to lock in the shine by having it "wrapped" with Expel Ultra. It is a clear plastic like film that is used commonly on new autos to protect them and maintain the finish. The installer had done some of my cars and does great work. I am very pleased with how it came out. I did the entire bow area and the rear hatch. Here are some pics:

Now it's ready to go in the water tomorrow.
