I am new to the forum and I have couple questions about repairing scratches in my cowl. While fishing on the ICW last week, I was anchored under a bridge out of the main channel. A large yacht came rolling thru, with no regard for others, casting off a 2-3 ft. wake. I knocked me loose and caused my motor to rub up on the bridge concrete. And broke a new custom made rod that was in a rod holder. My motor cowling was scratched pretty good on one side. I searched on the internet and thought I could fix it myself. Since the cowl is molded I began the process of removing the decal and then sanding out the scratched with various grit sandpaper both dry(to start) and 800 thru 2000 wet. All scratches are gone but I have what I call sanding clouds left . Whitish rings around the areas sanded. I've tried rubbing compound but they are still there, I've attached a photo. Any and all advice and help is greatly appreciated, I'm working on the picture. I can't get it to upload.
