Here is the before and after picture of my refurbishing it. Note the tiny sticker on the bow. Anyone recognize it?

Canoe_Codger,

I have a Rendezvous same color as your Blue Hole but faded out big time

How did you get that good looking finish?

"Rub-a-dub-dub..." I scrubbed it down with a 3M dish washing pad and Mean Green cleaner, rinsed well and let it dry. Then sprayed it lightly with 303 Aerospace Protectant, buffing with a dishcloth as I went. After that application soaked in and dried, I put on another light application. I did use denatured alcohol to remove some old decal residue and to prep the spot for the new decal I put on. 303 can be found at most marine stores, but I got mine at a local Ace Hardware. It is expensive, but doesn't take much. And it has UV inhibitors in it to supposedly retard futher fading of the vinyl color. It works on my composite Bell's gelcoat and my Old Town poly canoes as well as on the Royalex.

Now I wanna see a picture of that Jack Cat!
