I know I made the statement that buffing may not be permanent, but I retract that statement a bit, as I forgot something.

I remember visiting the Four Winns (not Four Winds) boat plant a few years ago, and they had to buff out defects from the gel coat due to molding imperfections.

I was surprised that they had to sand the area with sandpaper to remove the molding defects, then when they buffed it out, it looked fine.

I think the real issue though is if the gel coat is faded, it's UV damaged, so they have to remove the faded areas, which I suppose a skilled fiberglass worker can do with a buffer.

If properly buffed out, you guys might not have problems for a few years anyway.
