ok...I have seen many a thread on this but now its real because just did a few repairs from the idiots at the storage lots throwing gravel against my baby during the winter while cutting grass but, I digress.
Bought the Spectrum Gel coat repair for the black hull and it matched up pretty darn good. Even for a 2014 hull. I let it sit and cure over night and came back this afternoon and started to wet sanded it away. Started with the 220 and then 400 per the instructions on the package. This is were the freak out has started!
Have I totally destroyed my black hull?
I rinsed the sanded area with fresh water, wiped it down, used some Turtle wax compound, removed that and then Meguires marine wax. That didn't help make it look shiny again so I went back with a 9" orbital buffer with Starbrite cleaner and wax to see if that would help. but no... Yup freaking out.
This is where I am at this point. Help a brother out with some suggestions and advice please!
