    Light scrathes in aluminum door sill

    No problem man..... I ran into this issue cleaning up Coaches at a trade show a few years ago.

    CG EcoSmart Waterless wash for Rinseless?

    Been using EcoSmart for 4 years now religiously with my business...... a great waterless, but rinseless its not good IMO. Go with ONR if you need a dedicated rinseless wash.

    Marine gel coat tips

    Yes sir - 3M SD is a key step in tough oxidized gel coat turnarounds. It is very aggressive and when used properly equivalent to light wetsanding IMO. Thanks for the props Hotyman........ I appreciate your acknowledging our work man.
