Does anyone recommend any place in the DFW area that dose great fiberglass restore work?
I have a 30 year old bass boat that is heavily oxidized, i use a light compound and wax a couple times a year that brings a little color and shine back into the gel coat, but it only stays for a short period before becoming dull looking again.
I'm thinking a solid wet-sanding job would be good, although I'm happy to hear of other success stories..
Thanks!
If i'm posting on here i'd rather be on the water.

I found a guy named Steve who does a "Buff & Glaze" looks like great work...

I was going to use them for some hull repair and got some PM's on here that made me reconsider my decision. Whoever you use do your research first.

I was going to use them for some hull repair and got several PM's on here that made me reconsider my decision. Whoever you use do your research first. I went with a friend recently to pick up a boat in the sanger place, they did a very poor job ,many missed spots,no sign of any wet sanding on hull sides with minor stump marks ,very shade tree job ,very poor work ,price to high for what they did..

Maybe try an acrylic sealant (designed for gelcoat) instead of wax.
