    To get the most bang for the buck, sand them and clear them. Simtec makes a killer clear coat for glass, it sprays like auto paint. Just shot mine, a before and after.



    New gel



    Simtec Prestec clear applied, and yes this is dry!

    Sanded the inside, 80 da grit, on the entire inside, finished with 240 grit da. Then sprayed gel with 50% acetone reduction, then cleared everything with Prestec.

    Thanks for the info, this is my plan for winter right after the ihba wf this year. Very nice work. I hope mine comes out just as good as yours.

    The floors in my Cole were dull, but no cracks, delam, extra holes, or any kind of damage. Spent a few hours on my knee's with progressively finer grades of polish and a good buffer, and was very pleased with the results.
