Removing scratches from gelcoat
In the fall we did a rush job to clean the boat and in the process we didn't wash off some dirt/sand that had stuck to the boat from the back roads from the boat ramp. After washing it I noticed we had a bunch of tiny scratches all over, so we need to get rid of them in the spring when we give her a good cleaning.
So far from what I have gathered I should use 600 grit and follow by 1000 grit wet sanding, wash down, and use a cutting polish to remove the haze, than a finish polish to clean it up.
Am I missing anything? What products have you guys found work best and are easiest to apply? I have a Porter cable random orbit polisher that should help a bit.
