Please bear with me. I haven't worked on my boat doing any of this sort of work for many years as I always had protected the boat enough that it wasn't ever necessary before. But now it is.
I live on a barrier island in North Carolina, only a few miles from Ground Zero for Hurricane Florence back in September. I took my boat to a friend's house on the mainland for the duration of the storm, and uncovered it so the cover wouldn't get shredded.
Well, a lot of things had to be dealt with before I was ready to take my boat back, so it sat uncovered from mid September until today (December 3rd). When I went to get it, I found it full of leaves, twigs, etc, and I had a piece of windshield side trim that had come off during the hurricane. The trim lay where it fell and it won't be a problem fixing it.
The problem is the wood trim that used to have a nice shine. Now it all looks weathered. I think it was covered with West System epoxy but I could easily be wrong. What do I need to do to put a nice finish back on it?
It's hell getting old; I have developed CRS disease in my old age. I could use some input here.
