It's my understanding that once you've wiped-out
Awlgrip's thin surface shell, your only recourse is to either live with the dulled finish or re-paint. That's why I'd tend to go with Awlcraft 2000 or Imron, rather than
Awlgrip. Btw: I have
yet to meet a sailor to whom I related that who wasn't surprised to hear this.
That being said: The parts of our Alwgrip'd hull (we bought the boat that way) that
aren't scuffed looked nearly as shiny, with no work whatsoever, as gelcoated hulls that had been freshly cleaned and waxed, this spring.
Still: I think I'd rather the little bit of additional labour and be able to buff-out abrasions.
What about Imron or Awlcraft 2000 vs.
Awlgrip for touch-up (scratches, gouges, other damage): Which is easiest or works best?
