I painted my boat with IMRON about 15 yrs ago and lately was in storage (outside, ouch) for 3 years uncovered!



The paint is understandably under a little stress.



its rough to the touch, color is faded and has lost overall sheen.



IMRON`s a tremendous paint, and I know I can get it back.



What should I use? what sequence?



PC RO Polisher with which pads and compounds first?



I detail my car well but this is a uncharted area for me.



Pls advise!



Thanks



Gary

I`m not a fiberglass man, but I would think that your finish is gone. You might want to try a very aggressive RC in an inconspicuous area to see how that works but I am thinking that you need to sand that down and re-gelcoat, but I might be wrong.

Imron is tough stuff! Good luck. Depending on how the painter catalyzed it you can be fairly aggressive.
