Re: restoring the paint finish.

Depending on how much work you want to invest at this point of the season......... and based on how much time and energy you have...... I would put off wet sanding until the off season.

Why not try Vaseline ;) ........... do a search on iboats and type in Vaseline..... it will surprise you.
