Randy Cobb Prowler Junkie Posts: 4070 From: Greensboro, NC Registered: JUL 2002	posted 06-14-2004 06:53 PM What is the best thing to bring back the color to faded fiberglass or plastic? When I was a kid my Dad would go over faded fiberglass (top area of a boat) with baby oil several times and then wax. Would standard car polish or wax do it? ------------------

Check with a marina for recommendations.You can buff plastic also, but with a very fine polish
