Sanding Getaway Hull

I removed my graphics because they were all banged up from dock rubbing over the past years... using a razor I removed one side of the graphic stickers..... the next day I realized I just scratched the heck out of the plastic hulls... any suggestions on sanding the hull... what can I do???

I am wondering if you could rub it out with acetone on a paper towel. Let's see what others say. Steve.

Not sure about this type of plastic, but on many the only way of getting that shine back is with a light touch of a propane torch... If you have some spare plastic, experiment on it... Sanding? Never had luck with that with poly plastics.

You might try melamine squares. "so called" magic eraser. But get them in China. Only 5 bucks for about 100 of them. It may not work since it isn't really very abrasive (kinda like wet 1000 grit sandpaper). Also try a heat gun, scratch remover for your car's finish, and goo gone. Likely none of it will work, though.

Different kind of plastic. The Getaway uses a stiffer plastic that doesn't weld like most kayaks do.
