I had a fibreglass repair carried out on my boat I clipped a jetty where the rubber strip had been pulled off, I was impressed with the repair you would not pick it except for how shiny the gelcoat is where the repair was. I made enquiries about having the whole boat cut and polished but $2000 was a bit expensive. I did however buy some cutting compound from them it was white, I then purchased a 9 inch variable speed polished from SCA and got to work. It took me 2 days one to cut it one to polish the boat but at the end of the 2 days I was really happy the boat had gone from a dull flat white to looking nearly new.

Boat maintenance
As i am stood down and now can't go fishing its time to work on the boat.

So if you have time on your hands go to it my only suggestion would be buy fibreglass cutting compound not automotive.

Re: Boat maintenance
Yep a good cut and polish will certainly bring up paintwork or gelcoats looking great..
I'll be aiming to do my cars at some stage. I'll need to invest in a polished as the one I have has seen better days.
