We have a haze on some of our wood in the cockpit. Almost looks like Sun but it’s in areas that the sun doesn’t shine on. Is there a way to treat this without sanding down to the wood and reapplying?

Hawker63,
Unfortunately, I had an early version of what you are experiencing in my 2006 4460 before we traded it on the 33 OBX I have now. I researched a bunch of options to make it go away and also tried some stuff on the doors in an effort to help it or minimize it, but nothing worked. In my situation the panels were just starting to fade, so I thought if I can treat it maybe I'll get it from fading more. The only thing that I've heard working is sanding it down and re-coating with something that will last. It is unfortunate that this is happening to some of the 4460s models. A few of the 4460s we looked at before buying ours which at the time when we bought it wasn't showing any fading, were really bad.

I'm not sure if this will work for you but wanted to throw it out there... I had bought a 31 Formula where the cabin had experienced a fire. On that boat, the "wood" door wasn't solid wood but some type of plastic-ish type of coating. So to fix that I pulled off that old coating with a heat gun and applied some stuff called 3M Di-Noc. It's essentially what they use to wrap cars and it comes in a zillion types of colors and finishes. It applies pretty easily. I bet you could find some Di-Noc or similar that might closely match what you have. You could simply go over your current face and if you don't like it, just pull it off and no harm done. It's important to note that I wanted something that looked a bit different and deliberately did not try to match the factory color. I would also say if the backside of your door is white, it probably is constructed similar to how mine was and I don't know how you could refinish that short of getting it recoated somewhere. Here are a few pictures of a door I did for the Formula. |
