I used marine grade rubbing compound with an electric
buffer. Then sealed it with turtle wax. Keep buffer at
a slow speed and Make sure you dont rub off to much,
youll end up going down to the yellow stuff (fiber
glass) I did this OOPS! I also used to strong of a
rubbing compound. Overall it looks really shiny
