Faded gel coat
Can anyone help? I have a red/white P20. The red gel coat is faded and dull in some areas. Is it possible to polish this or will I have to have it re-sprayed? If it can be polished can anyone let me know what I should use and where to get it and do I need a mechanical polisher?
Thanks
Chris

I don't know the answer, but you've definitely come to the right place.
I'm sure that the mightly lords of boat polishing will be along shortly with a comprehensive answer!

Is it a genuine 16, or have you bought a leeway rib and cut the tubes off?
