I had good luck sanding the vinyl rail with wet or dry 400 grit paper (used wet) and then used rubbing compound and wax to restore the shine. It looks pretty good now if I do say so myself. Bruce Klamer Disclaimer S2 8.5 |

Hey there Lance, that's a good one. I've tried everything and haven't come up with a thing that works. I'll keep my eye on this question for answer. I've even offer cash money not to mention free beer to anyone that could figure it out. I haven't had to pay out yet. Russ SAILS CALL Hull 18 |

Try acetone it takes about half an hour to do the whole boat. I dont know how long it lasts but it looks good after |

Acetone works GREAT! We then used Armor All to keep the shine up. This lasted about six months in Puget Sound. We'll try some other UV/oxidation protection next time and see how that works. |
