Auto body repair & detailing: Repair minor Fiberglass scratches, surface scratches, rubbing compound


Question
I have a Seadoo PWC.  I have gotten some minor surface scratches from dock edges.  What is the best way to repair these.  They are cosmetic.  Lee

Answer
boats and jetski's are painted with a materila called gelcoat and is very simular to clearcoat except it is very resistant to water. If you wetsand the scratches with 1500 grit wet or dry sandpaper then buff to a shine with rubbing compound that will do the trick.
