Angry Scratches on Deck of Formula

Picked up my new Formula today and unfortunately my wife had a brain freeze. She went out on the bow to clean the deck and layed down. Her metal buckle scratched the boat. My boat is all white with no paint. There are now these thin gray/metal lines on the gelcoat. Any advise how to get them out/off. Thanks...

Try some "Buff Magic" by Yachtbrite. This stuff is the cat's behind! I'll post a pic of the can when I get time.

Suggest she doesn't lay on the deck again unless she is naked

At the bike shops you can get S-100 Cycle Restorer (creme in a tube) about nine bucks or so. THE best scratch remover I've ever tried and I've tried about all of them.

You'll have to wax after using....the stuff works...

3M Micro Fine Finesse it , by hand or machine , works well. If deeper wet sand with 2000 - 2500 grit , then the Finesse it.
