Subject: RE: Getting the shine back?

If you have faded poly-flake......You have next to nothing chance of bringing back the natural luster, there is a very thin mil of clear gelcoat, about 10 mils. the clear protects the polyflake from loosing color itself. If the clear has not maintained it creates a large problem for the polyflake. Behind the polyflake there is about 18-30 mils of black gelcoat. If you buff or sand through the clear gelcoat you will create a big equation. If it is a solid gelocat color, you can buff until you bring the luster back. there is about 30 mils of solid colored gelcoat. Just don't buff or sand into the fiberglass.
