i was new...and i didn't know how to post them on the right page..without getting trouble..u can tell i didn't get it.

 

use peanut butter
no joke
spread it around and let it soak in then wipe it all off and buff the hood, the natural oils from the peanut butter will soak into the oxidized clear coat and make it shiny new

would u like some jelly with that???

 

Peanutbutter is a quick fix. As soon as the peanut oils dry out, the haze will come right back.

Use a good marine polish and marine wax (Meguiar's makes some that are far more cost-effective than 3M). If that doesn't work out for you, you may have to get it re-cleared or re-gelcoated.

 

wet sand and re-clear....

the ONLY CORRECT way to do it.

 

what's suggested for the best clear coat...how much and how many?

 

never heard of that one but how long of a quick fix is it? days..weeks...?

 

days at most.


wet sand it yourself, and get it cleared at shop. my friend did for 60 dollars.

 

does anybody have pics to prove their work....did it turn out alright?

 

... peanut butter... wow... out of all things that could work... amazing...

It doesn't work. It's a quick fix, like baby oil on trim. It's a show trick ... lasts a couple days at best.

 

turned out good, the more you wet sand the better then end product.

 

ahhh... i c.. so what reallly works? like an actual fix? only the full wet sand and clear/ gel coating?

 

yea but it will be prone to returning to the look you have now. you need to wax it alot.

 

wow.....but...i don't know how to do it...it might look ugly so it's a waste of time for me and you....any suggested retail places? in sout. cali

 

was it creamy or chunky?

 

Boat shops might also be willing to give you a new gel coat. I can't give an estimate on a price though.

 

thankz.....where's a boat shop at?
