The 72 now has paint, and I'm starting to gather all of the pieces together in preperation of reassembly. Looking at the chrome on the window guides, and across/up & down the sail panel/targa bar, I see a fair amount of scratches. Can I just sand with fine paper, then buff? It looks like it may be anodized, & I don't want to screw it up worse than it is. It's going to be a daily driver, so I'm not looking for perfection.
TIA. |

VERY fine grit sand paper.....then a clear coat. Be careful not to dent with pressure it's thin walled. Then a coat of clear.
personally I don't like shiny stuff being next to the Great Pacific Salt Bath.....I anodize stuff black..... |
