    Paint correction can take anywhere from 8-20 hours. This one was not truely a full correction and only took me around 4-5 hours from start to finish.

    cool!!!!!! you buff the gel coat... you just helped it oxidize and fade sooner. you could clear it instead. and it would have had a great shine and lasted longer.
