I figured I would give these guys a try to attempt at bringing back the shine to our 2007 SX230. I was blown away by the results. Highly recommend them. It’s a local franchise kind of operation, check them out.

Looks great. Do they charge by the foot or quote the job depending on the severity?

It’s based on the severity. He quoted me a range of 15 - 30 per foot Over the phone. It came out to $429 or $20/ foot.

I was very happy it wasn’t $700.

Glad you shared this. I’ve been debating whether to spend the time and effort on the 06 we recently got, or to have it done. Good to have a trusted name to call on for a quote. I see you removed the decals, is there (much of) any ghosting where they were? I keep debating on removing mine. They’re fairly scratched up, and if a good wet sand/buff job takes the ghosting away, I’ll probably take them off.

There is some ghosting you can see in the blue, however it’s almost complimentary in a weird way in my view. I used a razor blade and did have some slips which I will need to fill with spectrum but I will probably address that later.

Ok, that’s likely not bad enough to deter me. I’m just not a fan of the scratched up flame decal look. Just a minor amount of ghosting would be acceptable in my book.

One more question, how far up/in did they go? Did they do much on the inside/top, etc?

I left the snap cover on the boat, they unsnapped and blended it in, but they didn’t totally wrap around into the inside. In hindsight maybe I should have uncovered it so they went into the inside.

I’ll take a closer look when I pull my batteries, fog and take out the cushions.

thanks
