Halsey 0 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I have the two back corners of a rubber rub strip (black) slightly damaged and I want to repair them to enhance the look of the boat. I have lightly sanded them and need a product to bring back the shine? Any suggestions Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 The silicon stuff they spray on Tires to shine then up after the tire shop has worked on them?Otherwise you may need to polish the surface with a buff pad on a drill and some cutting compound. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Halsey 0 Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 Thanks Wheels I heard you could sand the area then use a heat gun to bring back the gloss but couldn't find any info on that repair. Maybe yours might repair is the way to go.Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 If it is rubber, heat won't change it.If it is a plastic, then yes, but you have to be VERY careful because you are actually melting the surface and it goes from "nearly there to oh B#$(@#&r in a fraction of a second. And if it goes wrong, there is no fixing it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
