Our was really, REALLY Chalky... you could write your name in it.
Wet sanded it with 320, 600, then 1000 and buffed it out about 3 times with 3M heavy duty compound. Looks brand new. I never tought the boat would shine again... I was wrong.
It took alot of hard work, but it really paid off.. all 38 feet of it!!!!

After that sanding don't you need to clear coat the boat?

Not in NY... I don't know about Florida. We are lucky if we even see the sun. This past weekends high was 51 degrees.
Had to take the baby boat out with the canvas up and the heat on......
