And anyone that's read my book knows I strongly recommend this compound as it cuts great and finishes out like a polish and for most boat owns this is what they want and by cutting out the polishing step you save a lot of time.

The captains compound actually blended it in pretty well and its a lot harder to see now.
And sometimes that's about all you can do without going nuts and sanding really deep into the gel-coat and even then it can be difficult to get 100% removed.
