    Think a little !! its really not that hard !!!

    Ok i have had time out for a trip home .
    If you intend to resurface any mould you are going to have to remember to treat it with the respect it deserves . Be it just ordinary gel coat or over priced tooling , duratech or what ever It will only last as well as you look after it . Wax and be gentle with it could last a life time its all up to you !! Hard or soft As long as the surface is not stressed in any way and is waxed and looked after with each pull nothing will make it deteriate , but if you want to be smart person and think you are saving time and not wax each time then your an idiot and just asking for trouble !! Its all in you hands !!:mad::confused::(
    Which is better 2 hours waxing and polishing or a few days repairing pull outs simply because it was saving time !!. What are you going to do with with all the time you think you have saved ?? You cant put it in bottle for a rainy day !!
