Hmm. Mop-n-Glow for boats? Ugh. That sounds just about
exactly like what we’re staring at. I’ll pursue it,
and I appreciate your info. Thank you. Late last week,
techs started saying repaint the whole durned thing.
Sand, etc. etc. etc.
Beware the super simple, never wax again, fix,
folks…

Jacqui:
When I found my 1986 F36 in Habor Springs, MI she had this shine to her hull that looked like awlgrip. When I got her back to RI to get the hull ready for launch I found that shinny hull was covered with what appeared to be a dried liquid floor wax or Vertglas. I found ammonia and fine abressive cleaning pad worked and followed that up with 400grit wet sand followed up with progresssive finer grades of wet sanding, compound and wax. Hull looked great and no awlgrip needed. I did notice that the Vertglas may have contributed to a slight yellowing of the original hull’s white gelcoat. If the gelcoat is sound you may opt to try my approach to the problem, however with a dark hull awlgrip is the way to go as annual oxidation of the gelcoat will plague you for years.
