I will try the buffer and polish first. If not working I will use a rubbing compound.
Thanks

Thanks. I will try polishing with a buffer first.

Be careful or you'll end up getting sucked into doing the whole boat if it really pops!
Sounds like work but it is a new boat so it is easy to get carried away.
