Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
7-5
Most minor scratches, nicks, and dents can be removed by compounding
the surface. Marine type compounds can be found at most auto body
supply stores. Specify a number 25 which is a coarser compound up to
a number 55 being less coarse. Various glazes and polishes are available
as needed. Ask your marine professional or Regal dealer for more
information. Fiberglass hulls are strong but they can be damaged. A
berglass hull has virtually no internal stresses. Thus when a part is
broken or punctured, the rest of the hull retains its original shape. A
severe blow will either be absorbed or result in a denite localized break.
A break of this nature should be checked and repaired by a marine
professional or a Regal dealer.
