can i cut and buff out the white dock marks and things from my top rail on my tuffy? it is made out of rubber. i polyflaked my 1700c and want to get that top rail spiffy before putting it back on...also having trouble finding a product to get my black items that are sunfaded to stay black....ie the back two transom covers. also any idea on graphics i called tuffy and left a message.

thanks,

j

WD40 on the black nylon pieces. Let it soak for awhile, reapply at your leisure. The rub rail will polish up with rubbing compound. Use WD 40 on that too.

Call Tuffy during regular business hours.

dont know about the fading, but Tuffy has all the decals you could want, i just got some for my old river boat and they had the really big new ones like on the side of your 1700 as well in multiple colors. Good luck!

First start with a Mr. Clean magic eraser (hardware or grocery store) and clean the whole rail first. Than do as Steve W. said. On the final coat, use a product called Black Forever by Mothers. You can find it at most auto part places. It is used to restore the black on tops and vinyl on bumpers.
