Default Buffing the "Ghost" out of the gel coat..

Pulled the Scarab apart last night for the engine swap... man it was put together by wellcraft sloppy. There are parts of the boat that are still wet?!? The wood looks all good and solid... if I find anything soft I will replace.

Under the artificial lighting I can see now that the stickers on there are not the first and that they have been replaced. Can I buff the clear coat to get a nice shine and get the "Shadow" out from the old stickers?

You should be able to buff out the where the old graphics were, if it don't work as well as you like you can always wet sand with 1200 grit up to 200 grit and then buff it out.

As mentioned, buff with the compound of choice first. I personally would sand with #1500 first to blend in the "ghost".
