    Question Wet Sanding

    OK - I kinow that somewhere here there's a post about getting rid of the dreaded "haze" on the hull. What kind of wet sandpaper does anyone suggest using to get rid of the haze without removing too much gel coat?

    I used 400 and 600 grit wet sand paper then followed by 3M super cut and then finishing. Look at my pics on my page. I had really bad oxidation and it came out great!

    THanks guys - sounds like you're all pretty much on the same page. Did you use a sanding block and do it by hand?
